Wine country guide

Buy Argentinian wine with mountain-grown flavour.

Argentina is famous for Malbec, and for good reason: plush fruit, violet lift, spice and a natural match with steak. But there is more here too, from Cabernet and blends to fragrant Torrontes and fresher high-altitude styles.

Mendoza Malbec Uco Valley freshness Cabernet blends Steak-night reds

Why Argentina matters

Argentina is more than just a Malbec shortcut

High-altitude vineyards are central to Argentina's style, helping grapes ripen under strong sun while keeping enough freshness.

Malbec remains the headline, but the best shelves also show Cabernet, Bonarda, Torrontes and regional blends with real character.

Mendoza

The heart of Argentinian Malbec

Mendoza produces most of Argentina's wine and is known for ripe, generous Malbec with dark fruit, spice and smooth tannins.

Uco Valley

Altitude, freshness and precision

Within Mendoza, the Uco Valley brings cooler nights, mountain air and a fresher, more defined style.

Lujan de Cuyo

Classic depth and polish

A historic Malbec zone with ripe fruit, structure and a classic steak-wine feel.

Salta

High-altitude aromatics

Salta is known for very high vineyards and fragrant Torrontes, alongside bold reds.

Patagonia

Cooler, lighter styles

Further south, Patagonia can give elegant Pinot Noir, Malbec and fresh whites.

San Juan

Warmth, fruit and value

San Juan offers generous reds and approachable styles from a warmer setting.

Then and now

History in the glass, made useful today

Argentina's wine story was shaped by Spanish settlement, Italian immigration, irrigation from the Andes and a huge domestic drinking culture.

Malbec revival: Malbec found a natural home in Argentina, becoming softer, fruitier and more generous than many French examples.

Altitude matters: Cool nights and mountain sites help preserve freshness in otherwise sunny regions.

Modern Argentina: Growers are now more focused on site, soil and balance, not just ripeness.
