Most of the wine production of Brazil is concentrated in the south of the country, away from the equator, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, around 29th parallel south, which is close to Uruguay and Argentina. In that area, many of the vineyards take advantage of cooler mesoclimates at higher elevations, to a large extent in Serra Gaucha region.
