Alto Valle del Rio Negro
The appellation Upper Rio Negro Valley is located in the far north of Patagonia, more than 600 km south of Mendoza. Nearly 2,500 hectares of vineyards are planted mainly around Neuquén and General Roca.
Frosts occur late in the season; the region enjoys warm days and cool nights, which promote a long ripening period and result in fresh white wines and supple, ripe reds. The main grape varieties used for white wines are Pedro Ximénez, Torrontés, Sémillon, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc; for reds, Merlot, Malbec, Syrah, and Pinot Noir are planted. The wines owe their freshness more to the region’s southern location than to its altitude (300 meters).
