Grape vines have thrived in Argentina’s diverse areas, despite near-desert conditions, great elevation, and large diurnal shifts. With plantings reaching back to the 1920s, fruit from Uco Valley was originally utilized to add color and acidity to warmer-climate wines until winemakers in the 1990s recognized the region’s greater potential. Today, Uco Valley produces some of Argentina’s most influential wines. The valley, which runs north-south, is 70 kilometers long and 40 kilometers wide. To the south, the region is dominated by arid conditions with cold winds coming in from Patagonia; to the north, hills of 1400 metres or higher. To the east, the landscape changes into a succession of canyons and dry riverbeds.
