Multiple Choice

The vineyards of La Rioja are positioned in a series of valleys, including Pedernal, Calingasta, Zonda, Ullum, Iglesia, and Jáchal.

The image to focus on is where these valleys belong geographically. Pedernal, Calingasta, Zonda, Ullum, Iglesia, and Jáchal are associated with San Juan Province’s wine areas, in the western foothills and nearby regions. La Rioja’s vineyards sit in a different set of terroirs and valleys, not these San Juan names. So stating that La Rioja’s vineyards are positioned in that series of valleys is not accurate.
