Mendoza boasts excellent diversity, clearly distinguishing five production areas with unique characteristics; primarily in terms of altitude (from 450 to 1,500 meters above sea level), location, and varied orographic composition. Not to forget the malbec, the grape of French origin that has found its true sanctuary in this American country. Some of the best 'malbecs' in the world, if not most of them, are born from the soils of Mendoza, pioneers in Argentine viticulture.
