Mendoza: Where Malbec Finds its Peak
Mendoza: The Heart of Argentine Wine
Mendoza is not only the largest wine-producing province in Argentina, but it is the global cradle of Malbec and the backbone of our viticulture. Over 140,000 hectares of vineyards, unique alluvial soils, and the altitude of the Andes Mountains combine to create the most diverse and prestigious terroir in the country. Its dry climate and pure snowmelt water grant its wines unrivaled structure, concentration, and freshness.
