                                                                        ARGENTINA                                            

                                             Argentina is the largest wine producer in South America.

                                    The vineyards are hot and dry, so irrigation is essential.  Once

                                    an area of mediocre wines, Argentina now produces wines worthy

                                    of cellaring as well as everyday drinking.  When it comes to wine

                                    grapes Argentina's claim to fame rides on two; Malbec, red and

                                    Torrontes, white.

                                              The Malbec grape with French roots, grows with good success

                                    under the South American sun, producing wines that are full of extract

                                    with a silky richness that was lacking from the more rustic character

                                    of it's French cousins.

                                              The Torrontes is a grape that is indigenous to the area and unique

                                     to the rest of the wine world.  It produces aromatic, medium bodied

                                     wines, rich in fruit flavor.  As with other wine growing countries, Argentina

                                     also makes wine from the classic grapes as well.  Below are examples

                                     of wines from this area that you can purchase from us.
