Peru Wine Regions: The Complete Guide
The Peruvian wine tradition started, as for several South American countries, when the first Spanish colonizers planted some vines in the 16th century. With a hot, dry desert climate in its coastal valleys, Peru’s production of alcoholic beverages is more focused on brandy and spirits, above all Pisco. However, local winemakers are able to produce luscious wine from grape varieties that adapt really well to a warm, dry climate.
Among the main varieties grown and then processed in Peru are Quebranta, a local red grape used above all for Pisco, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, and Tannat. Also, various forms of Muscat and Sauvignon Blanc proved to be good alternatives and flourish in the warm coastal valleys.
Peru has no designated appellations for wine, but Pisco brandy has a PDO (Protected Designation of Origin), and it is made in the coastal valleys around the city of Pisco. This area can also be considered as the heart of the wine production, together with Ica, Chincha, Tacna and Moquegua. All these valleys and regions are submersed in stunning and jaw-dropping landscapes.
