A far-northern coastal valley with limestone soils, producing mineral Chardonnay and cool-climate Syrah.
About Limarí Valley
Limarí is unusual in Chile for its limestone-rich soils, and its Chardonnay is correspondingly taut and saline.
Despite sitting close to the Atacama, coastal fog — the camanchaca — keeps it cool.
No authority delimits this name or attaches rules to it. A country’s major wine division, usually containing appellations or sub-regions beneath it. That does not make it less real or less useful — it means nothing legal follows from it, and you will not generally find it on a label as a controlled designation.
