The basins of the Colorado River and Negro River define the valleys in which province?

River basins carve out the valleys where vineyards thrive, shaping soils, irrigation, and microclimates. In Argentina’s Patagonian wine regions, the major valley system comes from the Río Negro, with its basin creating the characteristic river valley that hosts most wine production in that area. The Colorado River basin helps define the broader Patagonian valley landscape, but the established wine valleys and terroir are centered in the Río Negro province, where the Río Negro valley is a key viticultural corridor. Other provinces are defined by different river systems and valleys, so the basin-driven valleys described here point to Río Negro.
