The winemaking regions in Argentina are found far from cities, in broad valleys and sloping plains with scarcely tilled soils, which are ideal for grape growing. There are seven wine regions: Mendoza (responsible for 2/3 of Argentina’s wine production), Salta, Neuquén, Río Negro, Catamarca, La Rioja and San Juan. The three winemaking valleys are named North, Cuyo and Patagonia.

Argentina offers many varietals, many of which are also produced (or originated) in other countries, however many people think of Argentina when choosing Malbec wines.Malbec wines are inky and bold with dark fruit flavors: black cherry, plum, blackberry. Rich notes of cocoa, chocolate, leather, tobacco and violets appear in many Malbec wines. Pair these Argentina wines with skirt steak with chimichurri sauce or with Veal Milanesa.
Although Cabernet Sauvignon is grown and produced in other countries, the sun and altitude in Argentina create ripe grapes, leading to full-bodied and deeper Cabernet Sauvignon wines. Cabernet Sauvignon wines have black fruit on the palate with fresh pepper and at times, tobacco, notes. Pair these Argentina wines with braised pork shoulder or chorizo tacos.
Then there are Cabernet Sauvignon-Malbec blends, which are dense and full-bodied wines with tannins. Most times the blend has more Malbec grapes with some Cabernet Sauvignon grapes to give the wine depth. Like Malbec wines, the flavor profile has plum and violet notes, with some black currant and light pepper from the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes.
