The Wines of Argentina

The right side of the Andes

Argentina is a wonderful place to grow grapes and make fine wine. There are few other places that have such a rich heritage and tradition using the finest ingredients from the various altitudes and climates encountered in Argentina. Spanish settlers brought hardy "work horse" vines to Argentina over the Andes from Peru and Chile as early as the mid-1500's, and the Argentines who made the spectacular Pampas beef a staple of daily life have produced and enthusiastically consumed full-bodied red wines to accompany it ever since.

Argentina is usually compared to its western neighbor, but the comparison can be misleading. Argentina has its own fascinating cultural identity, a distinct history, and a pair of promising varietals, the red Malbec and white Torrontés, that make it unique among wine producers. A melting pot of European cultures have blended to set the stage for high quality and high value wines to lead the way in Argentina's future.
