SELECCION DE VINOS ARGENTINOS WINE SELECTION

Argentina wine making began well over a hundred (100) years old, pioneered mostly by Italian immigrants at the conclusion of the 19th and early 20th century. However it wasn’t until the 1980’s that winemakers ever deviated from the practice of producing quantity rather than quality. At around 1990, the vast majority of Argentina wine was drank domestically or exported to neighboring countries for consumption. By the late 1990’s this had dramatically changed, while many wineries were still engaged in the tradition of quantity, table style wines, others had developed premium lines for the International market and startup wineries were sprouting up to take. Advantage of fertile land, ideal growing conditions to make high end wines. Today the Argentina wine industry is at the beginning stages of understanding how to cater to tourists interested in visiting the wineries and the refined techniques of the worlds greatest in turning out consistently great vintages.
