‘Biodiversity Is The Way’ In This Chilean Vineyard
Dr. Olga Barbosa is a biologist and ecologist, an expert on biodiversity in viticulture, which she says is “dependent on nature.” She recently contributed her perspective at a biodiversity roundtable arranged by Viña Tarapacá. The Chilean winery’s Fundo Rosario Estate vineyard is surrounded by the Altos de Cantillana range and the Maipo River, natural borders that enclose over 2,000 hectares of vineyards located in a biodiversity hotspot, one of the most biologically rich — yet threatened— ecosystems on the planet.
