Grower Profile
Viña Tarapacá vineyards are located in a privileged location of the Maipo Valley, where they take advantage of the qualities of the valley for the fine wine production in Chile. With the Maipo River bordering the vineyards and also being surrounded by mountain ranges of the Andes and the Coast Mountain Ranges, this makes it the perfect microclimate for the development of the wines. These natural barriers allow a very controlled handling of the growth of the grapevines and ensure the grapes mature slowly.
At Viña Tarapaca the team are committed in harnessing the ground characteristics, topography and climate in which the vineyards are divided, so that the diverse stocks planted have the ideal conditions.
All of this, together with a professional team seeking continuous improvement and quality control of the grapevines, ensure that by using their own breeding grounds and a mix of traditional/modern methods, make wines of Viña Tarapacá one of the highest quality products.
Wine Profile
The grapes for this Sauvignon Blanc were harvested early in the season at low temperatures to conserve all the fresh fruit character. It’s a vibrant and youthful style of wine with floral fruitiness and is great well-chilled as an aperitif or with a simple pasta dish.
