Wine Region
Mendoza, Argentina
At the foot of the Andes, Mendoza is Argentina’s leading wine region, producing over 70% of the country’s wine. Its high-altitude vineyards, sunny climate, and cool nights create ideal conditions for bold, balanced wines. Mendoza is famed for Malbec—rich, smooth, and deeply colored—but also excels in Cabernet Sauvignon, Bonarda, Syrah, and crisp whites like Chardonnay and Torrontés. From the Uco Valley to Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza blends tradition, innovation, and striking terroir in every glass.
