ARGENTINA’S TERROIR…
Argentina, the second largest country in South America, is made up of three primary wine regions spanning the western edge of the country… Salta in the extreme northwest of Argentina, Mendoza is central and Patagonia to the south; all three regions running along the eastern edge of the Andes Mountains. MALBEC has more than adapted to Argentina’s terroir, it thrived, and winemakers began to produce wines better than in its original land, France. Argentina is now the main producer of Malbec in the world, with 78,000 acres of vineyards planted across the country, far surpassing France with 13,000 acres.
