Wine house:

Viña Tarapacá is one of the oldest wineries in Chile. They planted their first fields back in 1874 at the bottom of the Maipo Valley. Here they helped start Chile's wine industry. In 1992, Viña Tarapacá was acquired by the Fosfores Group whose plan was to create high-level wines adapted to the growing consumer interest. The first thing they did was buy "El Rosario de Naltagua", a large farm centrally located in the Maipo Valley. Here they built facilities with full control over the entire production process. Today, this winery is located in a butter hole surrounded by the most beautiful vineyards. Today, a total of 850 hectares have been planted.

Maipo Valley is bordered by the Andes Mountains on one side and the Maipo River on the other. The microclimate in the valley is completely unique. In part, you have the opportunity to irrigate the fields with the meltwater from the Andes mountains, and at the same time you lie down so you get the cool breeze from the coast. In addition, there are 4 clearly defined seasons, with a large temperature difference between night and day during the summer period. This helps create fertile ground for healthy, ripe grapes with complex aromas and a good balance between acidity and sweetness.
