Tukma: environmentally friendly high altitude wines.

Centuries ago, the Diaguitas called their Cacique Tukma and the territory under their influence Tukmanao, which covered a large part of northwestern Argentina. This way of calling the leader gave inspiration to the name of the winery.

In the 15th century, the Incas occupied Tukmanao, giving a strong impulse to the regional agriculture. Their advances were applied to the cultivation of vineyards, introduced from Europe at the end of the 18th century.

Bodega Tukma's philosophy is to produce wines with their own identity, respecting the history and traditions of the region. It is based on unique terroirs, which express all the potential and typicity of the area, and combines them with the work of men and women, who add a component of sophistication and authenticity to these wines of great height.

The main oenologist of Tukma winery, José Luis Mounier, settled in Cafayate in 1986, with the aim and unlimited enthusiasm to give life to wines that will remain in the memory.

José Luis not only trained in the region, but also in Pomerol, France, where he acquired knowledge in the area of winemaking with Michel Rolland. Thanks to his experience, José Luis travelled to vineyards all over the world, in countries such as Holland and Canada, harvesting knowledge year after year, which is reflected in Tuma's wines.

María Paz Gómez Rueda, an agricultural engineer, arrived in Cafayate in 2011, and to this day continues to develop in Tukma a philosophy without the use of pesticides, working continuously to be more environmentally friendly, respecting the identity of the farms and seeking the highest quality in each of the places where the grapes are produced.

Tukma winery owns vineyards in three areas within the Calchaquíes Valleys: Tolombón, Huacalera and Angastaco, with altitudes ranging from 1700 to 2500 metres above sea level. The "high altitude wine region" presents a completely clear sky, pure and fresh mountain air, a great thermal amplitude between day and night, and an average annual temperature of 18ºC. These are the outstanding features that make the marvellous Calchaquí Valley the privileged site for the production of high quality fine grapes.

Tukma winery's Torrontés Tardío is a Salta wine whose vintages have been receiving awards over the years. In 2020, it was recognised with 93 points by Tim Atkin as one of the "Value Sweet Wine of the Year".
