Mendoza

This is the main grape producing province of Argentina, responsible for around 70 percent of wine production in the country.  Summers are warm, winters are mild characterised by sunny days, cool nights and low relative humidity (meaning few problems with mould and rot).

The rivers from the Andes are channelled through irrigation canals which have created three long oases in the virtual desert.  These are North Mendoza, Uco Valley and South Mendoza.  The average vineyard lies at an altitude of between 600 and 1,100 metres above sea level.

A huge amount of investment has been made into this wine region in recent years.  Wine growers and wine makers have come from France, Italy, Spain, Portugal and USA to develop the great potential of this area.
