The most northerly wine producing province, producing some very high quality and distinctive wines. Its northerly latitude would normally be too warm for quality wine grapes to grow but the vineyards in Salta are high in the foothills of the Andes with altitude tempering the effect of latitude. Some of the highest vineyards in the world can found here in remote locations enabling production of small quantities of some rare complex red wines, typically from the Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes.
In the area around Cafayate the Torrontés Riojana grape is at home. This area produces some outstandingly fragrant, full-bodied dry white Torrontés wine.
The climate is predominantly warm and sunny during the day and cold at night resulting in high sugar levels and good acidity at harvest time. This assures wines of both depth and balance.
