Peru

Peru, a country known for its rich culture and history, is also home to some of the most diverse wine regions. The region is known for the production of unique grape varieties that lend their flavor to the signature Peruvian wine. The country has approximately 12,000 hectares of vineyards, predominantly growing red grape varieties like Tannat, Malbec, and Petit Verdot and white varieties like Torrontés and Pedro Giménez. The country produces approximately 3.2 million hectoliters of wine annually.
The Peruvian wine region is famed for its Pisco, a type of brandy, and its traditional wines. The wines from this region are predominantly Vino de Guarda (wine for keeping) and Vino de Consomme (wine for consumption). Pisco is a protected denomination of origin (DOC) specific to Peru and Chile. The Peruvian Pisco is unique, made by distilling grape juice into a high-proof spirit, and regarded as the country's national drink.

Climate and soil	Peru's wine-growing regions can be divided into three distinct areas, each with its own unique climate and soil conditions. The coastal region, despite being a desert, benefits from the Humboldt Current, which brings cold waters and creates a mist that provides the necessary moisture for the vines. The climate here is sub-tropical with little rainfall, and the soil is sandy and rich in minerals. The Andean region, located at high altitudes, experiences a temperate climate with cold nights and warm days. This diurnal temperature variation is ideal for the slow ripening of grapes, resulting in balanced wines with good acidity. The soil in this region is mostly clayey and rich in organic matter. The tropical Amazonian region experiences a hot and humid climate with abundant rainfall. The soil here is deep and fertile, perfect for the cultivation of various fruit crops, including grapes.
