Q

Argentina has a number of factors that affect the wine region’s climate - dot point them and expand on them if you can

A
  • Wine-producing regions
    • 1500 kms apart, from Salta in the North to Rio Negro in South
    • 24- 38°S in latitude degrees
  • Altitude:
    • 500-1000mRL
    • Many over 1,000mRL
    • highest is around 3300mRL!!
    • Gives a wide diurnal temperature range – over 20 degrees in some places
    • The cooler night-time temperatures help to extend the growing season and allow the grapes to retain acidity and aromas
    • At low latitudes, the influence of cooling altitude essential to make the climate cool enough for viticulture
  • Combined effect of low latitude and high altitude also results in intense sunlight and high levels of ultraviolet radiation - leads to higher levels of tannins and anthocyanins
  • Most regions are in the foothills of the Andes – and in the rain shadow of the Andes
  • Rainfall levels are very low – some places less than 200mm per annum
  • In desert like conditions irrigation is essential
  • Even at highest altitude, most are planted on flat or gentle sloping sites
  • Majority of regions have Continental climate
  • Dry air reduces risk of fungal disease; strong winds from mountains
  • Zonda:
    • hot dry powerful wind occurring in late spring, early summer
    • lowers humidity; can induce water stress in the vines
    • can affect flowering; fruit set; or damage grapes
  • trees planted (poplars) as windbreaks
