Where are we traveling?
MendozaArgentina
In the central-western part of Argentina, at the foot of the Andes, Mendoza accounts for 75% of all Argentina's vineyards and the largest number of wineries in the country. This makes it the most important wine province and one of the world's leading production centres. Mendoza has been growing vines since 1598, and viticulture really took off after the arrival of the railway in 1885.
The Andes reach their highest peaks in Mendoza: at 6,959 metres, Aconcagua is the highest mountain in the Americas. The presence of the Andes, which act as a barrier to the moist winds from the Pacific, together with the distance from the Atlantic Ocean, shapes a climate that creates ideal conditions for growing vines. Altitude, the continental climate, the diversity of soils and meltwater are key factors in producing wines of excellent quality, on top of a strong winemaking tradition.
The little history of the country
Argentina
Although Argentina is considered the "new world", its wine tradition is much older than one might think, dating back to the time of Spanish colonization, in the 16th century and then by Italian settlers. Unlike Chile, wine has long been part of the country's culture.
No wine-producing country in the world has made more progress in the last years of the 20th century (on the viticultural and oenological level and necessarily financially) which has allowed the country's wine producers to increase quality levels and consolidate an international export market. Argentina has now become the fifth largest wine producing country in the world, after France, Italy, Spain and the United States.
Viticulture is practiced mainly in the foothills of the Andes, and more particularly in Mendoza, where the desert landscapes and high altitudes combine to give rise to aromatic and intensely perfumed wines. Some vineyards can even be planted up to 3000 meters above sea level!
The terroir here is well suited to the grape variety adopted by Argentina: the omnipresent Malbec. Originally from Bordeaux, he is today responsible for some of the most famous Argentinian wines, which are characterized by their brightness and intensity, with floral notes and dark fruit flavors. Other red varieties produced in Argentina are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Bonarda, Syrah, Tempranillo and Pinot Noir. Among white wines, the emblematic grape variety of the Argentine wine region is Torrontés, which gives a wine with a floral and tropical taste. The country also produces Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio. Today, Argentinian wines are recognized throughout the world for their full-bodied reds and as high-quality wines.
