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: Performance
Quantity of grapes harvested per hectare. In AOC, the average yield is limited on the proposal of the appellation syndicate, validated by the Inao. The use of high-performance plant material (especially clones) and better control of vine diseases have increased yields. This is not without consequences on the quality of the wines (dilution) and on the state of the market (too much wine). We must not over-simplify: low yields are not synonymous with quality, and it is often in years with generous harvests that we find the greatest vintages (1982 and 1986 in Bordeaux, 1996 in Champagne, 1990 and 2005 in Burgundy...).
