Argentina

Argentinian wine is known for its bold flavors, high-altitude vineyards, and exceptional value. The country's most famous grape is Malbec, which thrives in the dry, sunny climate of Mendoza, producing rich, dark wines with plum, blackberry, and spice notes. In addition to Malbec, Argentina also produces excellent Cabernet Sauvignon, Bonarda, and aromatic whites like Torrontés. The Andes Mountains play a crucial role by providing irrigation from snowmelt and protecting vineyards from excessive rain and disease. Many vineyards sit at high elevations, enhancing acidity and structure in the wines. With a mix of tradition and innovation, Argentina has become one of the world’s most exciting and reliable wine-producing countries.
