Which province in the North Wine Zone accounts for the majority of wine production?

In the North Wine Zone, the province that produces the most wine is Salta. This comes from its large area planted to vineyards and a well-established wine industry, especially in high-altitude areas around Cafayate where Torrontés and other varieties thrive. The combination of favorable climate, diverse terroirs, and a strong local winemaking tradition drives Salta to contribute the bulk of the North Zone’s total wine production. The other provinces in the region—Jujuy, Tucumán, and Catamarca—have much smaller vineyard areas and lighter output, so their contribution is far less compared with Salta.
