Mendoza and Wine Country

+ Add a Photo

By Daniel T. Johnson

Though not the only province in Argentina to produce wine, Mendoza province is by far the largest and most popular. Set amidst a stunning backdrop of perennially snow-capped Andes mountains, the area benefits from hot summer highs and temperate winter lows common to most popular wine regions. The region is relatively new on the global wine scene, thanks in large part to improved irrigation that has allowed wine growers to develop arid desert terrain and produce what many consider the best Malbec wines in the world.
