viña tarapacá was founded in 1874 in an exceptional setting near the cordillera, it is at the foot of a volcano surrounded by mountains and the rio maipo river. located about fifty kilometers south of santiago, tarapaca the estate was successively renamed "viña de rojas" after the name of the creator don francisco de rojas y salamanca, "viña zavala", and now "viña tarapacá, ex zavala". in 1992, viña tarapacá was bought by the compana chilena de fosforos group, which made numerous investments. on this land of volcanic origin, its vineyard extends over 600 hectares between isla de maipo and talagente, in a terroir comparable to that of the bordeaux region; here the cultivation of the vines uses a drip irrigation system, at the source of the rio maipo. today, the domaine also vinifies cuvées from different terroirs, to which the most suitable grape varieties have been adapted. this process of authentication between terroirs and the best associated grape varieties is developing more and more in chile. viña tarapacá has a first cellar dedicated to chardonnay, with nearly 1500 french oak barrels, the second dedicated to red wines with more than 3500 american and french oak barrels. the estate also has its own wine museum, as well as a tuscan-style mansion built in 1927, bordered by a 10-hectare park. carménère is the emblematic grape variety of chile - made from young vines, this wine is very fruity and has a very nice concentration on the palate with silky tannins.
