INCLUDED FEATURES

Malbec , the star of Mendoza

Mendoza is a favorite of wine enthusiasts aroundthe world. Surrounding the city are some of SouthAmerica’s best and most fertile vineyards. Theregion’s vineyards produce roughly 70 percent of Argentina’s wine. Here, winegrowers favorMalbec, Mendoza’s signature grape. This temperamental vine, difficult to grow in manyplaces because it is susceptible to disease, rot,mildew and other viticultural nuisances, flourishesin the arid plains near the city. The Andes blockeastward-moving clouds, limiting rain to barely 8inches each year. Instead, water is provided byacequias, irrigation ditches, that carry snowmeltfrom the mountains. Those factors, along withlong hours of sunshine and mild winds, have produced the ideal growing conditions for Malbec,which traditionally has been one of the grapesused to blend Bordeaux. In Mendoza, however,the Malbec grape produces an outstanding varietal wine.

Gaucho

he rich heritage of Argentina, the

melting pot of South America, is

fueled by a mix of European cul-

tures and those of the indigenous residents.

In fact, Buenos Aires has an unmistakable

European air! This flavor largely comes from

the 19th and 20th centuries, when Italian and

Spanish immigrants poured into the country.

Chile, Argentina’s neighbor to the west, also

enjoys great diversity due to European

immigration. Lively Santiago is the country’s

capital and cultural center. It is filled with

museums, music venues and universities.

INCLUDED FEATURES

Malbec , the star of Mendoza

Mendoza is a favorite of wine enthusiasts aroundthe world. Surrounding the city are some of SouthAmerica’s best and most fertile vineyards. Theregion’s vineyards produce roughly 70 percent of Argentina’s wine. Here, winegrowers favorMalbec, Mendoza’s signature grape. This temperamental vine, difficult to grow in manyplaces because it is susceptible to disease, rot,mildew and other viticultural nuisances, flourishesin the arid plains near the city. The Andes blockeastward-moving clouds, limiting rain to barely 8inches each year. Instead, water is provided byacequias, irrigation ditches, that carry snowmeltfrom the mountains. Those factors, along withlong hours of sunshine and mild winds, have produced the ideal growing conditions for Malbec,which traditionally has been one of the grapesused to blend Bordeaux. In Mendoza, however,the Malbec grape produces an outstanding varietal wine.

Gaucho

he rich heritage of Argentina, the

melting pot of South America, is

fueled by a mix of European cul-

tures and those of the indigenous residents.

In fact, Buenos Aires has an unmistakable

European air! This flavor largely comes from

the 19th and 20th centuries, when Italian and

Spanish immigrants poured into the country.

Chile, Argentina’s neighbor to the west, also

enjoys great diversity due to European

immigration. Lively Santiago is the country’s

capital and cultural center. It is filled with

museums, music venues and universities.
