- Elki Valley: Near the Atagama Desert, one of the clearest starry skies in the world; high altitude Syrah (Falernia, etc.) and pisco distillation tradition (general knowledge).
- Limarí Valley: Chile's rare limestone soil + cool morning mist (Camanchaca) - Chardonnay has a tight mineral feel and has been regarded as world-class in recent years (Concha y Toro "Amelia", etc., general knowledge); there is also a savory style Syrah.
- Current situation (verified): Severe drought in 2024 - Limari’s annual rainfall is only 39mm, about 1/3 of the historical average (JamesSuckling 2025; Drinks Business 2026-04); water rights and irrigation are regional issues.
