Pucará lies at 2,400 meters above sea level in a region with semi-arid climate. This is the precondition for a special terroir which is not found in any other part of the world. In this extremely high altitude wine growing area the radiation of sun is very intense, the air is clear and the melting water of still higher sources is pure. But the most important factor for the wine’s quality is the high amplitude of temperature within day and night. In Pucará we have a mean daily difference in temperature of 25 degrees Celsius. In winter nights the temperature can be 14 degrees Celsius below zero so that the amplitude reaches 35 degrees Celsius. These differences in temperature distinguish our wine “Pucará”.
