Argentinian wine
Argentina appears in 6 articles of hers, from 2022 to 2023.
In her words
Malbec is the most popular wine from Argentina both in terms of production and consumption and Argentina is now the largest producer of Malbec in the world.
The main wine producing region in Argentina is Mendoza and the Uco Valley.
The announcement of this award for the 2022 year is significant because in this same year, Zuccardi Valle de Uco became the first winery from Argentina to have three wines awarded 100 points from Robert Parker Wine Advocate (Finca Piedra Infinita 2016, Finca Piedra Infinita Gravascal 2018, Finca Piedra Infinita Supercal 2019), in addition to a perfect score from Tim Atkin (Finca Piedra Infinita Gravascal 2019).
Argentina is famous for Malbec, the great red wine that we love with steak - but today, Argentina is more than just Malbec.
The quality of wines coming from Argentina really turned a corner in 2014-2016.
As a result we are finding wines with finesse - this is a really exciting time for Argentina and the makers are treating the fruit with respect to produce genuinely elegant, refined styles.
