The majority of wine production in the North Wine Zone is found in which province?

Salta dominates the North Wine Zone because it has by far the largest area of vineyards and a well-established wine industry centered in Cafayate. The high-altitude conditions in this region, typically around 1,800 to 2,000 meters, are ideal for producing expressive Torrontés and robust Malbec, which drives a large share of the zone’s output. Neighboring provinces like Jujuy, Tucumán, and Catamarca have some production, but on a much smaller scale due to fewer vineyards and less winemaking infrastructure. That combination of extensive vineyards and developed wine production in Salta is why most of the North Wine Zone’s wine comes from this province.
