Since the XVI century, wine has been produced in the Tarapacá region, being an important activity in the town of Pica and Matilla, in which it was possible to obtain approximately 350,000 Liters. However, as a result of several factors, including the end of the saltpeter cycle, competition from the central zone, the application of high taxes, and the expropriation of water for the use of the city of Iquique, the vine plants began to be removed. The winemaking activity ended between 1937 and 1949. However, some relict plants remained in different locations in the region, which survived the driest desert’s adverse conditions, such as high daytime temperatures throughout the year, low relative humidity, high solar radiation, and almost absolute absence rainfall, and saline soil. Therefore, a rescue of this plant material was carried out, establishing a small Variety Garden in the Canchones Experimental Station of the Arturo Prat University. At a national and international level, a molecular analysis (DNA) was carried out to identify which strains corresponded to them. A genotype could not be identified after it had been compared with approximately 7,000 genotypes. This information was used as a complementary antecedent for the registration of the variety at the Agricultural and Livestock Service (SAG) level.
