Editors notes
Argentina's best-known white wine grape, torrontes is apparently a South American cross between muscat of Alexandria and the anonymous mission (or criolla) grape brought to the New World by Spanish missionaries in the 18th century.

Argentina
The wine industry in Argentina has had one of the fastest growth rates in the wine world and now claims to be the fifth largest wine producer in the world. Much like certain aspects of Argentine cuisine, the wine industry too has its roots in Spain. Vine cuttings were brought to Santiago del Estero in the 1600s. Up until the 1980s, Argentina was known for producing more 'quantity' wine over 'quality' wine, but that has changed with winemakers across the board lifting their game. There is no doubt that Malbec is the grape on which Argentina's international reputation as a wine-producing nation is founded. Whilst it is a difficult grape to grow, the climate and conditions around Mendoza and in particular the Uco Valley is ideally suited to producing world-class wine. The most popular varieties planted out in Argentina would be Bonarda, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot, Sangiovese, Syrah and Tempranillo.

About the brand Terrazas de los Andes
Argentina’s long-standing excellence in wine production is undeniable: as a winemaking country, Argentina enjoys the possibility of cultivating quality vineyards across the whole country.
Mendoza and Salta are among the leading wine provinces in the country. Mendoza is regarded as the leader of the vast majority of wine production, and Salta is home to some of the world’s highest elevated vineyards.
To be brief, our uniqueness is shaped by three special features: The high-altitude at which we plant our vines, The unique land on which we live and The rich and diverse culture we inherited.
Surrounded by the high peaks of the Andes, our vineyards are located in the heart of Mendoza’s Luján de Cuyo and Uco Valley. Our wine is the story of our bond with the land, and the orchestration of extreme forces of nature to create a unique harmony.
