How much vineyard does a wine stock own? From 12,441 hectares to none

Buy a share in a listed wine company and you might picture vines. For some of them, that picture is right. For two of the 22 companies in the BoomCellar Wine Stock Index, it is not: they own no vineyard at all.

We mapped every estate, winery, vineyard and cellar those 22 companies own or run as their own, each read from the company's own filing or official page. The Listed Wine Map has 99 sites in 18 countries, checked on 8 October 2026.

Vineyard area, as each company files it

Eleven of the 22 state a vineyard figure in a primary source. Here they are, largest first, with the company's own wording:

Company Country Vineyard, ha What the filing counts
Viña Concha y Toro Chile 12,441 planted area including long-term rentals, 2025
Treasury Wine Estates Australia 9,560 owned and leased (2,709 ha leased), 2026
Viña San Pedro Tarapacá Chile 4,684 productive and developing, owned and leased, 2025
Delegat Group New Zealand 2,876 productive, owned and leased, 30 June 2026
Maison Pommery & Associés France 2,600 holdings as its registration document states them
Purcari Wineries Romania/Moldova 1,989 vine plantations, 2025
Foley Wines New Zealand 462 in commercial production, owned or leased, 30 June 2026
Willamette Valley Vineyards USA 214.1 productive, owned and leased (529 acres)
Crimson Wine Group USA 184.1 planted (455 acres)
Lanson-BCC France 152 owned, hectare-equivalents, 31 December 2025
Naked Wines UK 0 owns no vineyard or winery; its Sonoma winery is leased

And one more zero with a twist: Italian Wine Brands owns no land, but it does own three wineries. It buys and bottles.

Why the column is not a ranking

Read the last column before you compare rows. "Planted", "productive", "owned and leased" and "hectare-equivalents" are different measures, and two of the US figures are acres converted at 0.4047. Each number is exactly what that company reports, with a link to the page it came from. Lining them up is useful; treating them as one measure is not.

The other ten companies (Laurent-Perrier, Schloss Wachenheim, AdVini, Masi Agricola and others) have sites on the map but no hectare figure we could read from a primary source, so the cell stays blank. A blank means "not stated", not zero.

A second surprise: Champagne

Lanson-BCC has the most sites on the map of any company (9) and the smallest vineyard figure anyone on the list states above zero (152 ha owned). Site count and vineyard area measure different things: houses, cellars and wineries are sites too.

The hectare column hides one more split that matters for a stock: owned versus leased. Treasury's 9,560 ha includes 2,709 leased, so owned is 6,851 and 28% of the area is leased; Concha y Toro's 12,441 includes long-term rentals with no split in the table. Leased land shows up as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability rather than as owned property, so the same hectares sit differently on the balance sheet. The crop is also treated differently by filer: IFRS companies carry growing grapes at fair value under IAS 41, while US GAAP filers such as Willamette and Crimson carry them at cost.

A column for owned hectares and the accounting basis would let readers compare rows like for like. One more date note: Delegat and Foley are at 30 June, most of the others at 31 December, so "checked 8 October" and the data period differ by up to a year across rows.
