The wines of Argentina have been gradually emerging on the global stage for the
past decade (the Argentine wine industry is now the 5th largest producer in the
world), but few people have sampled their delights at the source.
The Spanish first
brought vine cutting to Argentina in 1557, but Argentina?s most famous grape Malbec - was brought by the French (it was known as Auxerrois at the time).
Most of
Argentina?s wines are produced at high altitude in areas with low humidity and low
annual rainfall, meaning that the Bodegas (vineyards) rarely have to deal with
problems such as fungi and mould that effect the crop in other countries; indeed,
few pesticides are needed and even organic wines can flourish.
