When Argentine wine began to appear in the world market a couple of decades ago, few consumers realised the magnitude of the phenomenon involved.  In wine terms, this was the last great undiscovered land.  Its size and isolation are subjects that merit special attention, but even more intriguing for the wine lover is the potential within such a vast viticulture landscape.  The wines produced here are commonly known for there blockbuster Malbecs but more recently exciting new blends of Malbec involving Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon have started to make a big impact on the world market.  Also being produced are some incredibly good value Chardonnays.

In Argentina the instituto Nacionale de vitvinicultura (INV) regulates wine terms such as DOC (similar to the French AOC) and the new GI (Geographic Indication), similar to the Italian IGT.  If a grape is named, the wine must contain 80 percent of that grape.
