Tukma

Salta altitude whites: Torrontés and Sauvignon Blanc from Argentina's high country.

Tukma operates in Salta, Argentina's high-altitude wine region, where elevation and cool nights shape the character of white wines. The winery's portfolio centers on Torrontés and Sauvignon Blanc—varieties that thrive in these conditions. Gran Torrontés and Altura 2.670 Sauvignon Blanc anchor the range, both rated by major critics including Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, Falstaff, and Decanter. Tardío Torrontés rounds out the white-focused lineup. Salta's terroir—marked by intense sunlight, diurnal temperature swings, and mineral-rich soils—produces whites with aromatic intensity and crisp acidity. Torrontés, Argentina's signature white variety, expresses floral and stone-fruit notes in these conditions. Sauvignon Blanc responds similarly, gaining precision and mineral definition from altitude. The winery's emphasis on these two grapes reflects both regional strength and a deliberate focus on cool-climate white expression.
