Wine from Argentina

Argentina is one of the leading wine producers in the New World, competing with Chile for the top spot in South America. Its high-altitude deserts, especially in Mendoza, create ideal conditions for quality wines. The Mendoza region produces 85% of the country’s Malbec, with other popular varieties including Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. Argentina's winemaking tradition dates back to the 16th century, and in recent decades its wine industry has gained global recognition.
