History
Valle de Uco grew as a high-altitude viticultural zone in the late 20th century, attracting wineries that favored cooler mountain climates for Malbec and experimental varieties.
Conservation
Many vineyards in the valley practice water-conscious irrigation and organic or reduced-chemical viticulture to protect scarce mountain water and soil health.
