The Uco Valley in Mendoza, Argentina, is a renowned high-altitude wine region known for elegance and purity of expression. Nestled at the foothills of the Andes, its vineyards lie between 900 and 1,500 metres above sea level, enjoying abundant sunshine, cool nights, and rocky, mineral-rich soils. These conditions produce vibrant wines with fresh acidity, refined structure, and distinctive floral, fruity, and mineral notes, making the Uco Valley a benchmark for world-class Malbec and other fine varietals.
