According to the first report of the season by the National Association of Agricultural Engineers and Winemakers of Chile (ANIAE), winter rainfall and higher-than-average spring temperatures have supported the phenological development of vineyards across most of the country’s wine-producing regions.
In the Limarí Valley, rainfall increased by more than 550% compared to the previous season, revitalizing an area previously affected by drought. In the Casablanca Valley, the low occurrence of spring frosts suggests that production levels for varieties such as Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Syrah will be comparable to or even higher than last season.
The ANIAE report, based on surveys conducted in November 2024 among winegrowers across Chile's wine valleys, highlights that the agroclimatic effects of El Niño have been largely positive for the 2025 harvest. The overall outlook for Chile’s next harvest remains optimistic, with an expected increase of 10% to 20% compared to 2024.
