Argentina

Argentina’s fine wine scene has surged in quality and reputation, led by Mendoza, one of the world’s great high-altitude vineyard regions. Here, vineyards sit at the foothills of the Andes, where intense sunlight, cool nights and low rainfall create ideal conditions for slow ripening, concentration and freshness. This unique terroir has elevated Malbec to world-class status, while also producing increasingly refined Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. Catena Zapata has been one of the leading pioneers driving innovation through groundbreaking research into altitude and terroir, and through its collaboration with Château Lafite Rothschild for Bodegas CARO. Today, Argentina offers powerful yet increasingly precise wines of outstanding value.
