Red wines of Mendoza
Mendoza’s diverse terroirs nurture an impressive array of red grapes, including Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Tempranillo, Bonarda, Sangiovese, and Barbera. While much of the region still produces wines for domestic enjoyment and grape concentrate, standout areas deliver exceptional quality. Luján de Cuyo is famed for its silky, structured Malbecs, while the gravelly soils of Maipú lend elegance and depth to Cabernet Sauvignon, making Mendoza a must-visit destination for red wine aficionados.
Fine whites and high-altitude vineyards
For white wine enthusiasts, Mendoza’s Uco Valley is the crown jewel. Home to vineyards planted up to 1,200 metres above sea level, this cool, elevated region excels with Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, and Torrontés. Tupungato, a subregion within Uco Valley, produces some of Argentina’s finest Chardonnays, combining bright acidity with layered complexity—perfect for those seeking crisp, expressive whites with a sense of place.
