About
Argentina is the world's leading producer of Malbec — the deep, full-bodied red grape that found its greatest expression in the high-altitude vineyards of Mendoza. Argentine Malbec is richer, fruitier, and more structured than its French Cahors ancestor, with notes of plum, blackberry, chocolate, and violet. The Luján de Cuyo and Maipú regions produce the finest examples. Wine tours from Mendoza include bicycle vineyard tours, harvest experiences, and tasting rooms with Andean mountain backdrops.
