Luján de Cuyo, in Mendoza, Argentina, is celebrated as the birthplace of the country’s finest Malbec. Recognized as Argentina’s first Controlled Denomination of Origin (DOC), it lies at the foothills of the Andes, with vineyards planted between 900 and 1,100 metres above sea level. The warm, sunny days and cool nights, combined with alluvial soils, produce wines of rich fruit concentration, silky tannins, and remarkable elegance, making Luján de Cuyo a global benchmark for Malbec.
