If you are on the
lookout for world-class wines, it might be time to book a trip to Argentina's
wine regions. The country is known for Malbec, its most popular wine. But it
actually produces so many other types of vino, many of them worthyof their place in the cellars of serious wine collectors and
enthusiasts. Be sure to visit the following Argentina wine regions and discover
their distinct tastes and flavors:
Salta
Salta is 5,000 feet
above sea level, with a mountainous climate that combines freezing cold nights,
hot summer days, and arid grounds. The extreme weather conditions of this
region have helped its soil cultivate some of the most interesting grape
varieties with unique flavor profiles. The region producescabernet sauvignon, Malbec,
Syrah, chardonnay, and torrontes.
Catamarca
If you are in for a
wine adventure, then you should add Catamarca on your list of Argentina wine regions to visit. It’s definitely fulfilling to share a bottle of wine with you
companions after you have conquered the challenging routes to the heart of
viticulture of this extremely beautiful mountainous region. Most wineries are
found on the banks of the Abaucan River, specifically from Fiambala to
Tinogasta. While Catamarca’s wineries are not as popular as those that are
found in Salta, their wines are surely remarkable.
Mendoza
Any trip to
Argentina's wine regions is not complete without visiting the most famous wine
region of them all—Mendoza. With its never-ending vineyards stretched on the
base of the Andes, Mendoza is no doubt the biggest producer of wines in the
nation and the fifth largest producer of wine in the world. This is where you
will taste world-class wines created by internationally acclaimed wineries Clos
de Los Siete and Carmelo Patti. Here, you can
enjoy sipping and
tasting your wine while looking at majestic scenery.
