“Valle de Uco’s northern wine sub-region is
Tupungato, identified as being north of the Las
Tunas River, with Tupungato (the city) being the
largest (pop 43,000) city in the valley. Valle de Uco
slopes higher to the north end of the valley, making
Tupungato the highest region with elevations from
4,000’ to 5,000’ and closer to downtown Mendoza,
just to the northeast of the valley along Ruta 86.”
