2014 3.571 ha of certified organic of Biodynamic V vinifera vineyards or 2.77 % of the national vineyard based on Chile’s wine grape vineyard being 128,637 hectares (Oxford Companion to Wine 2015, p.170). Compare this to Italy, France, Spain, Germany, and Austria–none of which explicitly market themselves as wine-growing paradises despite all having 10% or more of their national vineyards certified organic or Biodynamic. And if just one Chilean winery–Emiliana in the Colchagua Valley–which has 850 hectares of organic and Biodynamic estate vineyards (2015)–is removed then Chile’s numbers’ would be even worse, because Emiliana alone accounts of 23% of Chile’s total organic wine grape vineyard. Emiliana also has contracts for another 550 hectares (2015).
