Argentina
For wine people in the know, Argentina represents one of the most amazing places for wine quality and value today. The country is also one of the ‘kindest’ climates (dry, sunny) for growing quality grapes with very few disease issues and growing problems. The fact that many vineyards are found at elevations above 4,000 feet is quite remarkable. Malbec is the king here – with very fine Cabernet as well. If you require further supplier or product, please contact your local RWM office.
Fincas Patagonicas is one of the most technologically advanced wineries in Argentina and marries Argentina’s best vineyards with winemaking expertise. Fincas Patagonicas vineyards are located in the Valle de Uco and Agrelo regions, province of Mendoza. Mt. Plata (6100 meters) and Tupungato volcano (6800 meters), overlook the state-of-the-art Fincas Patagónicas Winery providing magnificent scenery.The signature wine of Fincas Patagónicas is Malbec. One of the five Bordeaux blending grapes, Malbec has flourished in Argentina since the middle 1800s, producing intense wines of great value. Fincas Patagónicas’s Tapiz Malbec was recognized as the "Best overall Malbec" by Wine & Spirits in its annual buying guide for 2000 and the Malbec 2002 was listed as Best Value by Wine Spectator in 2004 . Since that time they have developed their brand even further culminating in a 94 point score for their ‘barrel selection’ from the 2004 harvest and available for sale since 2008.
