The Wines of Argentina
Argentina is synonymous with Malbec, especially from the Mendoza region, where it produces deep, dark wines with plum, blackberry, and cocoa notes. The Uco Valley, within Mendoza, is known for high-altitude vineyards that enhance the acidity and structure of Malbec. Torrontés, Argentina’s signature white grape, thrives in the Salta region, offering aromatic wines with floral, peach, and citrus flavours. Patagonian Pinot Noir is gaining recognition for its elegance and vibrant red fruit characteristics, showcasing Argentina’s expanding wine portfolio. Chardonnay, too, flourishes with crisp stone fruit flavours and a variety of oak aging styles.
