Argentine wines are produced primarily in the Mendoza region, located at the foot of the Andes Mountains, in Argentina. This region is known for its high-altitude vineyards, which benefit from abundant sunshine, low humidity, and vast temperature variations, resulting in grapes with intense flavors and aromas. Argentine wines are renowned for their bold, fruit-forward flavors, particularly in the Malbec varietal, which is the country's signature grape. Other notable varietals produced in Argentina include Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Torrontés, a fragrant white wine that is unique to the region.
