Table wines are also made from varieties including Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Syrah and Chardonnay.
Located around 300 kilometers South of Lima, this is one of the driest places on the planet. No rain or frost has ever been recorded here. Vineyards here are sustained by an aquifer containing glacial meltwater from the Andes.
