 In 1996, Jancis Robinson noted that there were several hundred hectares of "Torontel" grown but that some of these plantings may actually be the Galician variety.Additionally, Torrontés is known in Chile often under the synonym "Moscatel de Austria", which is believed to be Torrontés Sanjuanino.According to wine expert Oz Clarke, most plantings of Torrontés in Chile are Torrontés Riojano and the grape is primarily used in the production of the Chilean brandy, "pisco".
