Argentina has a highly developed wine culture, born of its Spanish roots and nurtured by waves of immigrants from other wine-loving countries. Techniques have been refined over the years and recently Argentina has taken center stage in the growth of the wine industry. It is Malbec that has made Argentina, and especially the region of Mendoza, famous as a center for world class wine. Malbec, rich, dark, robustly fruitful, is the undisputed king of Argentine wines. Taste the wines of Argentina and experience the tradition!
