Discovering the wine region of Coquimbo
Chile's northernmost wine region (600 km north of Santiago), covering the Elqui, Limarí and Choapa valleys under a semi-desert climate cooled by the Pacific Camanchaca fog and the Andes. Syrah is the flagship red — intense blackcurrant, blackberry, black pepper, olive and a mineral-saline altitude edge, fine tannins and elegant freshness. Structured Cabernet Sauvignon. Taut Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc with citrus notes.
Birthplace of Pisco (16th century). Sunny, mineral identity.

Autochthonous Spanish variety from Andalusia (Montilla-Moriles DO, Jerez DO).
