Munoz said the Atacama wines hold onto those qualities well.
穆尼奥斯说，阿塔卡马葡萄酒很好地保持了这些品质。
Munoz said: "One of the identities of our wines is that they express the place of origin very well. We don't want to lose the essence of that salt taste, that desert taste, that volcanic rock taste, and the grape's flavors, which are distinctive."
穆尼奥斯说：“我们葡萄酒的特色之一是它们很好地表达了原产地。我们不想失去盐味、沙漠味、火山岩味和葡萄独特的味道。”

埃斯平多拉说：“年轻人不想从事农业工作；他们想做其他的事情。我们正在从事农业工作，我们将尽我们所能继续下去，每天都更加努力，并做出更多贡献。”
