Chile Chico visit shares cold-climate vineyard management with Los Lagos growers

Growers from Chile’s Los Lagos Region visited the Technical Office of INIA Tamel Aike in Chile Chico to learn about viticulture in cold climates, INIA reports. They learned about work in the Lake General Carrera basin, where extreme climatic conditions require specific practices for irrigation management, vine training systems and pruning, as well as protection against frost and birds. Nicolás Verdugo said the tour aimed to introduce the producers to cold-climate viticulture experience and practices they could apply in their own vineyards.
