Peru

Peru is a relatively new player in the world of wine, with a wine industry that is still in its early stages of development. However, the country’s unique climate and terroir make it an exciting place to watch for wine enthusiasts.

Peru’s main wine region is located in the Ica Valley, which is situated south of Lima in the desert region of the country. The climate in this region is hot and dry, with a significant difference in temperature between day and night. The soil in the Ica Valley is also unique, with a mix of sand, clay, and limestone that contributes to the distinctive character of Peruvian wines.

Peru is known for producing a range of wine varietals, including Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Tannat. The country is also home to a number of indigenous grape varieties, such as Quebranta, which is used to make the country’s famous spirit, Pisco.
