In the northwest, which region is renowned for Torrontés?

Torrontés is Argentina’s signature white grape in the northwest, and its most celebrated home is Cafayate in Salta Province. The high-altitude vineyards, dry climate, strong sun, and cool desert nights balance aromatic intensity with bright acidity. That combination helps Torrontés express a perfumed bouquet, often with floral and citrus notes, while remaining fresh and lively on the palate. While the grape is grown in other NW areas, Cafayate stands out as the region most renowned for Torrontés.
