Argentina's wine story begins in the Andes.
Snowmelt from the mountains provides water for vineyards planted across some of the world's driest wine-growing landscapes. Rivers carry stones, sand, and minerals down from the peaks, forming the alluvial soils of regions such as Luján de Cuyo, Maipú, and the Uco Valley.
Altitude shapes the climate as well. Bright days help grapes ripen, while cold mountain nights preserve acidity, freshness, and aromatic detail. That combination gives many Argentine wines both generous fruit and a sense of structure and place.
Mendoza is the best-known expression of this landscape, but Argentina's wine identity extends well beyond Malbec. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Bonarda, Syrah, Torrontés, Chardonnay, and other varieties all reflect the regions and people who bring them to life.
The wineries and stories gathered here are invitations to explore that diversity. Each one reveals another way the Andes influence Argentina's vineyards, communities, and wines.
