ARGENTINA
Over the past decade Argentina has evolved from a country relatively unknown on the global wine scene to the New World’s
fastest growing wien exporter. The leading grape in Argentina in terms of reputation and quantity is Malbec, a Bordeaux variety
imported to Argentina from France in the mid 19th century. Other red varieties produced in Argentina include Cabernet
Sauvignon, Merlot, Bonarda (known as Charbono in its native Italy), Syrah, Tempranillo and Pinot Noir. Among white wines, the
Argentinian wine region’s signature grape is Torrontés, which yields a floral, tropical-tasting wine. The country also produces
Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio.
There are seven denominated Argentinian wine regions: Mendoza, Salta, Neuquén, Río Negro, Catamarca, La Rioja and San Juan.
Among these, Mendoza is the leader in terms of quantity and quality, with roughly 80% of the nation’s wine production centered
in this desert region located almost directly across the Andes Mountains from Santiago, Chile, and about 650 miles due west of
Buenos Aires. Neuquén and Río Negro, meanwhile, are in southerly Patagonia, while Salta is in the north of the country, near the
border with Bolivia.
