 | |  |  | Wines: Mendoza and Argentinean Malbec | |  |  | |  |
Mendoza is one of the eight great wine capitals of the world. It's the most important wine-producing province in Argentina, the heart and soul of Argentina's wine country where European settlers introduced the ancient craft of winemaking in the 19th century. Mendoza is home to more than a thousand wineries and produces more than 80% of all Argentina's wine.
Talking about the red wines, Malbec turned into the most popular and recognized varieties not only for domestic market, but also for international markets. Malbec, imported from France a century ago developed its best characteristics in Mendoza, turn into Argentinean Malbec wine, the best Malbec in the world. With typical black cherry, blackberry and spice aromas, this dark red wine is usually produced in a Bordeaux style, often aged in oak, for a result that is soft, deep and velvety.
Other Argentina's fine reds wines that share same full fruit aroma are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. Best Syrah can be found in Salta and San Juan region.
Though wine tasting is not the pastime that Buenos Aires is best known for (for this experience you better visit Mendoza or one of many Argentina's other wine regions), there are some places that offer the most unique wine tasting experience: Casa Coupage (www.casacoupage.com.ar), Anuva Vinos (reservations@anuvavinos.com), Winery (www.winery.com.ar), Club 647 (www.club647.com), Gran Bar Danzon (www.granbardanzon.com.ar/danzon), Terroir (www.terroir.com.ar).
One thing is certain: if you like wine as much as I do, in Buenos Aires you'll be in heaven :) Cheers!!
