Argentina Collection

The Frontier of High-Altitude Viticulture Argentina is a land of extremes, where the towering Andes Mountains provide the backdrop for some of the highest vineyards in the world. This dramatic elevation is the secret to Argentina’s winemaking success; the intense mountain sunlight develops thick-skinned, concentrated grapes, while the cool night temperatures preserve a vital, refreshing acidity. The result is a portfolio of wines known for their deep color, velvety texture, and remarkable purity of fruit.

The Malbec Revolution and Beyond While Argentina has become synonymous with Malbec, the region’s diversity extends far beyond its flagship red. Argentine winemakers are increasingly exploring the unique potential of their varied terroirs:

• Malbec: The undisputed king. From the plum-forward, approachable styles of the Mendoza plains to the structured, mineral-driven expressions of the Uco Valley, Malbec remains the benchmark for plush, dark-fruit intensity.

• Torrontés: Argentina's signature white grape. Primarily grown in the high-altitude desert of Salta, it offers an aromatic explosion of jasmine, citrus, and peach with a bone-dry finish.

• Cabernet Sauvignon & Bonarda: Argentine Cabernet is gaining global acclaim for its spicy, structured character, while Bonarda provides a juicy, fruit-forward alternative for everyday enjoyment.

Regional Diversity: From Salta to Patagonia Our collection highlights the distinct personalities of Argentina’s premier wine-growing regions:

• Mendoza: The heartland of the industry, home to the prestigious sub-regions of Luján de Cuyo and Maipú.

• Uco Valley: The epicenter of modern Argentine innovation, where high-elevation limestone soils produce world-class, age-worthy wines.

• Patagonia: A cool-climate frontier in the south, producing elegant Pinot Noir and crisp, refined Chardonnays.
