Wine country guide
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.
Why Argentina matters
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.

Then and now
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.
