ARGENTINA WINE ZONES
The vastness of our territory allows for the existence of
different agro-ecological factors that act on the vines in the
growing areas. These factors include the altitude, the terrain,
the soil, the precipitation rates, the average temperatures and
the irrigation. At the moment, this conjunction of regions
extends preferably in areas along the foothills of the Andes
Mountains.
A large fraction of the Argentine territory is suitable for
growing grapes. It lies at the foothills of the mountain range
from 22 to 42 degrees south of latitude. The different altitudes
and latitudes determine the remarkable ecological changes which
allow the cultivation of most wine grape varieties widespread in
the world.
In general, all the Argentine wine regions are characterized as
being located in temperate, dry areas with little rain, and
low relative humidity, which leads to the harvest of healthy
grapes. These characteristics are then translated into an
expression in the variety wines of excellent quality.
Each productive oasis presents unique characteristics that allow
the diversification of the various wine areas. These are
integrated by sub regions, with notable similarities or
remarkable agro-ecological differences.
