The wine region of Tarija
Wine capital of Bolivia, ~80% of national vineyard, vines planted between 1,600 and 2,350 m altitude (among the highest in the world). Very sunny dry climate, strong day-night temperature range. Muscat of Alexandria is the signature white king (~70%): aromatic and floral with fresh grape, citrus, white flowers, peach and honey — base of Singani, national spirit comparable to Pisco. Dense Malbec (blackberry, plum, violet, spices), firm Tannat and Cabernet in modern reds.
The word of the wine: Local wine
Table wine, but with the origin indicated. It corresponds to a particular legislation: the freedom to use grape varieties is greater than for the AOC, but the quality criteria such as the approval tastings can sometimes be more demanding. The legislation is still evolving, but for the moment there are three levels: regional (e.g. Vin de Pays d'Oc), departmental and local (e.g. Côtes de Thongue).
