    "Tamaya" in the Diaguita dialect means high lookout, it is the name of the highest peak in the area and from there one can view the entire valley below. In the vineyards of Viña Tamaya we have found vestiges of the ancient Diaguita culture which reigned in this zone between the 8th and 15th Centuries. Inspired by its culture, we named our winery Tamaya.

    Our highest objective is to produce wines of the finest quality that reflect the natural characteristics of the Limarí Valley. The constant search for quality is our number one guiding philosophy at Viña Tamaya. To achieve the absolute highest standards, we closely supervise each phase of production, from the growing of the grapes in our exceptional vineyards to the final bottling of our wines, working with only the finest ingredients to create and produce wines that make us proud. Every label and product express the philosophy of Viña Tamaya and the presence of de Diaguita culture in the Limari Valley.

    Dark, full-bodied and herbaceous with a spicy kick, Carménère found great success with its move to Chile in the mid-19th century. However, the variety went a bit undercover until 1994 when many plantings previously thought to be Merlot, were profiled as Carménère. Somm Secret— Carménère is both a progeny and a great-grandchild of the similarly flavored Cabernet Franc.

    Part of the Coquimbo region and a key location for pisco production, the Limari Valley is one of the northern most wine producing regions of Chile. The other two, also part of Coquimbo, are the Elqui and less-developed Choapa Valleys. While more vineyard area is dedicated to pisco production (via the grapes of Muscat of Alexandria, Pedro Jimenez, Moscatel de Asturia and Torontel), the acreage under vine for still wine production has increased. The intense sunlight in the Limari Valley, coupled with little rainfall as well as the cooling effect of the Humboldt Current from the Pacifc Ocean, all make the area ideal for cool climate grapes like Chardonnay and Pinot noir.
