Wine Today in Argentina

Argentina features long and prosperous tradition of producing top caliber wines. Its sunny weather and soil properties contribute in the development of enticingly distinct good wines. Some of the wine grape varieties available in Argentina include the:
  • Red: Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Merlot, Bonarda, Tempranillo and Sangiovese
  • White:Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Torrontes

Malbec has found uniquely favourable growing conditions in Argentina and there is no doubt that Argentine Malbec is one of the most successful and delicious in the world. Its intense colour, aromas of berry fruit, plums and honey and its ability to ripen to perfection create wines of a velvety texture and long, soft flavour. When oak aged in barrels, the extra dimensions of vanilla and soft tannin give great structure. Malbec is a perfect partner for beef or even chocolate and red berry fruit desserts.

Torrontés is Argentina's most distinctive and different white variety. It produces a fresh, fruity and elegant white wine with crisp acidity. It is particularly appealing to young wine-drinkers who appreciate its fruity, floral easy-drinking character.


Argentina's Wine Industry

Mendoza is a very large wine-producing country. Indeed, it is the 5th largest in the world and important domestic consumption has, for a long time, easily absorbed production.

Economic stability in Argentina over the last decade has created significant openings for worldwide trade and with it opportunities for both major developments within the wine industry and ambitious plans for export.

The existing environmental resources of Mendoza's wine-production regions provide an outstanding framework for growing high-quality grapes in the most natural and healthy conditions. Add to that modern, state-of-the-art technology and Mendoza is able to provide world consumers delicious wines with all the colour, aroma, fruit flavour and quality it desires.

Heavy investment, training, acquisition and application of modern technology as well as an absorption of international product knowledge and markets are factors which mirror a forward-thinking attitude which will surely enable Argentina to win an important position amongst other New World wine-producing countries.

Everyday, Mendoza and Argentina will surprise you with our wines. ArgentineWines, Naturaly.
