Uco Valley notes: Very high elevations: 900m-1500m. Cool nights help grapes retain acidity and fresh, fruit flavors.
Mendoza Province notes: Very sunny and at elevation so cool nights. The dominate wine making region in Argentina. Most vineyards are planted in desert conditions. Protected by rain by the Andes Mountains and the Argentine Pampas |
