Argentinet reveals some of the world acclaimed Argentine wines. As a leading resource of useful information on Argentina travel and vacation, the website hopes to give everyone a sneak peek of what to expect during their stay in the country.

For the past decade, Argentina has quickly risen to become among the recognized wine producers of the New World and is giving a good competition to longer established industries in the United States, South Africa, Chile, New Zealand and Australia.

Ancient vines were brought from Europe during mid 1880s, with winemakers focusing on the production of high volumes but of low quality, removing the chance for an export market. However, the modernization in the recent years started seeing better production of noble French varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Italian Bonarda and Pinot Noir among the reds and Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, French Viognier and Germain Riesling among the whites.

However, a very interesting discovery is the fact that Malbec grape coming from south of France was able to adapt better to Argentine soil than to its mother soil. The Argentine Malbec is not just one of the best selling Malbecs of the world for this is also considered as the national wine as it perfectly matches steak.

Tempranillo grape with Spanish origin is uncommon in other parts of the world but in Argentina, itranks third in importance, right behind the Malbec and Bonarda varieties. Torront?s is the emblematic white grown solely in Iberian Peninsula and Argentina where this also does better compared to Europe. In general, this gives a light wine yet with strong aromas like that of Muscat.

Wine making region in Argentina spans for as much as 2,400 kilometers along Andean foothills, starting from Salta up to Rio Negro. Cuyo is the most important region and of course, Mendoza province wherein the wine producing regions have been divided to zones based on soil, climate and elevation. Upper Rio Mendza is located at 800 to 1,100 meters and this is where Malbec grape thrives and where majority of noble varieties are being adapted. Northern Zone is fit for young reds and fruit whites while the Eastern Zone is the most productive, both of which are set at 600 to 700 meters.
