The elegant appeal of Bolivian wines that more should know about Share
At almost 2,000-metres above sea level, Bolivian wine-growers are continuing a centuries-old tradition started by Jesuit missionaries in a bid to capture a niche market with their unique product.
In the southern Tarija department in the foothills of the Andes mountain range, the little known Bolivian vineyards find themselves dwarfed between the two regional wine-growing giants: Argentina and Chile.
Those two countries are respectively the seventh and eighth largest wine producers in the world and share 200,000 hectares of vineyards.
The 5,000 hectares of vineyards in Tarija benefit from a temperate climate with intense sunshine during the day and humidity at night, with the region protected from strong winds from the north.
