Rich and spicy, with concentrated dark fruit and Asian spice flavors, supported by fleshy tannins and firm acidity. Viscous dried mint and green herbal accents emerge midpalate, leading to a finish that lingers with bittersweet chocolate notes. - WS
Tarapaca Winery is located in Isla de Maipo, which is considered as the finest and most traditional area for the production of fine wines in Chile. The estate is comprised of 2,600 hectares, of which 611 are planted with vineyards. It is a unique place surrounded by mountains and the river Maipo. For this reason, the El Rosario Estate is known as “Maipo Valley’s Natural Clos”. Clos is a French viticultural term used to describe a terroir that is surrounded by concrete walls erected to preserve the vineyard. At Viña Tarapacá, they call it the “Natural Clos”, because the vineyard is surrounded by natural barriers which give origin to unique wines of exceptional quality.
