About Salta: The Salta Province, in northwestern Argentina, has vineyards at the highest altitudes in the world. With an extreme desert climate, alluvial soils, intense sun, and low rain, this winemaking area is one of the most unique on the planet. Vineyards can be planted up to 10,000 feet. The white Torrontes grape excels in this climate, with great diurnal shifts that contribute to zippy acidity for the wines.
