History

La Chiripada was founded by the Johnson family, who built the adobe winery by hand in 1981.[2] It is located south of Taos, New Mexico in the Rio Embudo Valley.[5]

The vineyards produce an annual crop of twenty to thirty tons of grapes. La Chiripada produces a variety of whites, reds, and specialty wines.[2]
