Mendoza, located in the western part of Argentina, on the foothills and high planes of the Andes, is the country’s most renowned wine region. In this unique region lie the highest vineyards in the world, between 900 and 1,500 meters above the sea level. Malbec and other varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah prosper on chalky soil with cool winds under a dry and sunny sky..
