Elqui Valley

Chile's northernmost wine region, close to the Atacama Desert, at extreme altitude (between 2,000m and 2,800m in the Andes foothills), surrounded by one of the clearest skies on Earth — home to multiple international observatories. The Elqui produces intensely mineral, high-acidity wines from Syrah, Carménère, and Muscat in an unlikely terroir that is attracting global attention for its extreme viticultural conditions.
