Viticulture

There is only a limited extent of viticulture due to difficult climate and soil type. An old, once significant wine-growing area is located in the German-speaking colony of Independencia in the Departamento Guairá, 180 km east of the capital Asunción. It was established in 1919 by German winemakers from Baden (Germany)-Württemberg. Viticulture flourished, and the vineyard area developed to 4,000 hectares. In 2022, however, the vineyards only covered 379 hectares, and the wine production volumes were 18,000 hectoliters. One of the few winemakers is the German-born Gerhard Bühler, who produces a quality red wine from Cabernet Sauvignon.
