Terroir
In the Argentine, the regions which are suitable for growing vines are located along the Andes Mountain Ridge, from 22º to 42º south latitude. This large North-South region and the latitude variations of its valleys produce various ecological conditions where different grape varieties are grown. Although the soils are of similar origin, various textures may be found in small areas.
Climate
In general, all grape-growing areas are located in dry regions with warm weather, where the winter seasons are well defined, there is high sun radiation level and the temperature range is nearly 15ºC.
Soil
The soil and climate conditions of the Mendoza river highland allow for growing quality varieties and producing high-quality wines. The mean temperature is 15ºC. Wines produced in this region are some of the best quality wines produced in Argentina.
