Calchaqui Valleys is the most prolific wine region in Northern Argentina. It is also one of the highest anywhere in the world, with Vineyard altitudes ranging from 1500 to 3100 meters.

The valleys still only account for around two percent of the national output, but the wines are well regarded for their concentration and balancing Acidity.
