Salta’s wine country follows the Calchaquí Valleys, shared with Tucumán. The dry, temperate valleys hold vineyards above 1,700 metres, and some in Salta reach around 3,000. Cafayate is a major wine centre here.
Torrontés, especially Torrontés Riojano, is Salta’s characteristic white. Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Tannat, Bonarda, Syrah, Barbera and Tempranillo make up its red range. Reds can be deeply coloured, with ripe plum and blackberry, firm structure and soft tannins. Valle de Cafayate on a label identifies wines from Cafayate Department.
