Tarapacá

The winery is located near the municipality of Isla de Maipo (Talagante province) in the Maipo Valley in Chile. It was founded in 1874 by Francisco de Rojas y Salamanca under the name "Viña Rojas". In 1892 the estate was purchased by Manuel Zavala-Meléndez, who changed the name to "Viña Tarapacá" in honor of the Chilean province of the same name in the north. In 1992 it was taken over by the Chilean Match Company "Compania Chilena de Fosforos". The new owner made huge investments in vineyards and cellar technology. There is a close cooperation with the Californian winery Beringer. Finally, in 1998 the company became part of the VSPT wine group. This second largest Chilean wine exporter owns vineyards in Chile and Argentina.
