Tupper Family Wines
Tupper Family Wines operates in Maule Valley, the heart of Chile's Central Valley, where continental climate and varied soils create conditions for distinctive red wine production. The winery focuses on Carignan, a varietal that thrives in this region's warm days and cool nights. The Legno Viejo Carignan represents the winery's commitment to the grape, earning recognition from Wine Advocate. Carignan in Maule Valley develops deep color, structured tannins, and dark fruit character—qualities that define the region's most compelling expressions of the variety. The winery's work with this traditional grape reflects both the region's viticultural strengths and a deliberate choice to champion a varietal often overlooked in favor of more fashionable alternatives.
