Vino del Desierto

Vino del Desierto is produced with old vines that were found in the Tarapacá region. These varieties were forgotten in time for more than 80 years, as a result of the end of the region's wine-making activity, which ended between 1937 and 1949. These varieties stayed alive in the conditions of the driest desert in the world. Our wines: The family of Vino del Desierto is composed of three varieties: Tamarugal, Gros Colman and País.
