With vineyards cultivated between 1600 and 3000 m.a.s.l. Bolivia's viticulture starts where others stop. The higher the altitude the more direct the concentrated sunlight the vineyards receive, which makes the fruit develop thinner skin, leading to greater color concentration and stronger tannins. Higher elevation areas also experience greater shifts in temperature between day and night. The dramatic temperature drop once the sun sets, allows the grapes to conserve their acidity and delays their ripening process, giving the fruits more time to develop on the wine. As a result, Bolivian wines are intense, vibrant and captivating - just as the land they come from.
