In the early 1990s, a conscientious effort was made by Argentinian viticulturists to improve quality and increase exports. Today, Argentinan wine has established itself as a serious player in the international wine market, with a reputation for selling high quality wines at consumer-friendly prices. As of 2010, Argentina is the fifth-largest wine-producing country by volume in the world.
More than two-thirds of Argentinian wine comes from the Mendoza region, situated in the foothills of the Andes Mountains. In Mendoza some of the world’s finest Malbec, Argentina's signature grape over the past 15–20 years, is grown and flourishes. Other prominent growing regions include San Juan and La Rioja, which are located further north.
A particular focus of white Argentinan wine is the aromatic grape, Torrontés. Almost all of its production worldwide is in Argentina.
VN9393 pts. - Vinous - Nov 2022 The 2020 Malbec Chakana Estate Selection (from Paraje Altamira & Gualtallary, Uco Valley) was a third aged in used barrels and a third in foudres. A mild purple hue. The nose presents gentle notes of fresh plum, violets and hints of thyme over a pleasant bed of oak. Indulgent with slightly reactive tannins, the flow is juicy and fairly compact. (Joaquín Hidalgo)
JS9191 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Tuesday, August 9, 2022 Dark olives and some fresh leafiness to the black plums and dark cherries. A very smooth red with creamy tannins and juicy fruit, which give it a lot of immediate appeal. Delicious now.VN9090 pts. - Vinous - Nov 2022 The 2021 Malbec Don David from the Calchaquí Valley was aged for 12 months in oak. Purple in hue. Notes of spice, black pepper and ripe plum are present on the nose, along with oak and smoky aromas. Juicy in the mouth with grippy tannins and a medium body, it ends with a fruity finish. (Joaquín Hidalgo)
VN9090 pts. - Vinous - Nov 2022 The 2021 Malbec Crios from the Uco Valley was 40% aged in used barrels. Purple in hue. The nose offers notes of plum and violets, which come through very clearly for a wine in this price range, over a bed of vanilla. In the mouth, it’s juicy and expansive with a little grip and a flavorful, black tea profile. The 2021 is a textured Malbec with an expressive, fruity core. (Joaquín Hidalgo)
VN9494 pts. - Vinous - Nov 2021 Susana Balbo’s 2019 BenMarco Expresivo is 82% Malbec combined with 18% Cabernet Franc, both from the Uco Valley and was 70% aged in new barrels and the rest in used for 14 months. An intense purple in hue, the precise aromas include plum and blackcurrant with herbal notes and hints of jalapeño over a delicate bed of oak. In the mouth, it’s compact but juicy with a medium body and long-lasting, fruity flavor in which the finely grained tannins take charge to define a texture that stays delicate in spite of the overall vigor. A modern wine best left for at least a year. (Joaquín Hidalgo)
VN9090 pts. - Vinous - Nov 2021 From Mendoza, the 2020 Malbec Felino was aged for eight months in 10% new oak. Purple in the glass, the nose presents gentle notes of violet alongside intense fruity aromas such as fresh plum and cherry. Growing juicy in the mouth after a dry beginning, the flow is broad with a velvety texture from the aging process and refined tannins before the vivid, fruity finish. (Joaquín Hidalgo)
