Winemaking in Argentina is all about altitude. Many of its most prominent vineyards are situated at elevations exceeding 2,000 feet, where the cool nights help grapes retain zingy acidity while reaching full juicy ripeness. Probably best known for its flagship red grape Malbec, Argentina has become a South American enological powerhouse. The rich dark fruit flavor and smooth chocolate finish have made Malbec a global favorite. Along with its bold reds, Argentina is also known for aromatic white wines such as the peachy, floral Torrontés. International favorites like Chardonnay, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon also grow well in Argentina's high, dry soil.
