Mendoza, Argentina is one of the world’s leading wine producing regions. The blend of high altitudes, diverse soil types, and excellent growing conditions make Mendoza a prime location for growing grapes. Located in the foothills of the Andes Mountains, the vineyards benefit from the ample sunshine, cool nights, and dynamic microclimates that result from the nearness to the mountains.
The wine industry in Argentina dates back to the arrival of European immigrants in the mid-19th century, most of whom brought with them vine cuttings from their homelands. However, due to the country's vast size and challenging geography, it wasn't until later that wine production really took off. At first, the majority of the wines produced were table wines, but a renewed focus on the wine industry in the 1980s paved the way for the high-quality wines for which Argentina is now known.
Mendoza is renowned for its flagship grape, Malbec. The deep purple in color Malbec grape is known for its robust tannins, and fruity flavors, and spicy aromas. Other popular grape varieties grown in the region include Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc.
