The wine region of Elqui Valley
Northernmost valley of Chile at the edge of the Atacama desert, very sunny desert climate (<70 mm rain/year), cool nights from the Pacific and the Andes. Syrah signature as king red: intense and concentrated with notes of black mulberry, cassis, violet, black pepper, olive, garrigue and a schistose mineral touch, firm tannins and sunny palate — unique high-altitude typicity. Zippy herbal Sauvignon Blanc in complement. Historic cradle of Chilean Pisco since the 16th c.
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.
The word of the wine: Rosé (champagne)
Unique rosé wine made by blending white wine with a small amount of red Champagne. It is however possible to vinify the must directly into rosé.
