In which province is the southernmost vineyard in the world, Sarmiento, located?

The location sits in the Patagonian coast, in Chubut Province. Sarmiento’s cool, maritime climate is just capable of supporting grapevines, which makes it the southernmost vineyard area that’s actually in production. Even though Tierra del Fuego lies farther south on the map, its conditions are too harsh for vineyards to exist there, so the practical southern limit for viticulture in this region is in Chubut.
