Argentina is one of the top five wine-producing countries in the world. For a long time, most of the wine was made for local consumption. But in the past quarter-century, an increasing number of vintners began making very serious releases with the most widely planted red grape, Malbec. These made a big splash on the international scene, winning awards, garnering high ratings and amassing enthusiastic disciples. Torrontes is the star indigenous white grape, now on many restaurant menus for its refreshing, aromatic qualities and affordability. An increasing number of international grapes are grown, most notably Cabernet Sauvignon, Bonarda, Merlot, Syrah, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. All styles of wine are made from dry whites and reds, rosés, sparkling, late harvest sweet wines and fortified wines.
Argentina boasts an impressive number of wine-makers under the age of thirty-five, and a growing number of women innovating the field. This is a country that has learned that investing quality and Read more »

I love life outdoor and wine. I have travelled a lot trying to understand the influence of soil over wine quality. It is amazing.

Oh Ya! Like a party in your mouth..yum. Fruity, aromatic, full of tiny bubbles (yes I'm singing) and not overly sweet. More delicate than a spumanti. Bottle is gone in no time. Great price... gotta get more! Quite a delightful wine. Read More

Overripe black cherries come across in the nose and mouth, with fulsome dark plum in the nose as well. Alas, the consistency is too thin to carry much structure, and the experience falls short of memorable. (AV 84, http://argovino.com/?p=1096) Read More

Decent bog-standard malbec. No standing on ceremony here: the inky nose is present, albeit a little muted, and the traditional sweet, red fruits come across reasonably well, with a touch of iron. It just feels like it could try a little harder, with more concentration and a touch more complexity. A decent pairing for milder meats. (AV 85, http:/... Read More

Forward if not particularly concentrated; the hints of clove in the nose come just at the end, and the ripe cherry taste lasts a good long time. Rather than developing into new flavors, though, the wine ends with an unfortunate bitterness. Not a bad choice with a rare steak, but did it really take grapes from 60 different vineyards to make it? (... Read More

With a nose that tends (as some do) towards the swampy and mushroomy rather than inky and dark, this wine offers a main line to Malbec Central: forward and direct, with raspberries and cranberries up front and blackberries bringing up the rear. A dash of merlot softens the edges, and some cabernet franc adds a little more bite, leading to a malb... Read More

Argentina is destined for success in the production of fine wines, because there are all the elements for excellent raw material (grapes). Is otherwise considered as natural elements, the water that comes from the thaw of the Andes, the dry land and with minimal humidity, and more than 300 days of sunshine a year, and little nesecidade use of pe...
