Get To Know Argentina Wine | Wine Folly

- If you love Malbec, Argentina is your ultimate wine region. But that's not all the Argentina has to offer! See the full guide here: argentina.guides.winefolly.com/
Spanning out from Mendoza, you'll find a wide array of Argentinian specialties from robust and age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignon to delicate and floral white wines made with Torrontés.
What makes Argentina's wines so unique is the influence of the landscape on its wines. For example, many of Argentina's top vineyard sites sit next to Andes Mountains at very high altitudes. It's this influence from the mountains and sun conditions that makes Argentina's wines so unmistakable.

The Cabernet Francs and Cab Franc-Malbec blends coming out of Argentina now are OUTSTANDING. Argie Cab Franc is my new go to for when we do asados (argentinian barbecues) at home
I'm a Sommelier from Argentina, and one of the classical (and best) pairings is Meat Empanadas with Torrontés from Salta. Cheers from Argentina!!!
Lucas: I’ve found Torrontes to be a perfect match with Dungeness Crab 🦀 in the Pacific Northwest!!!
Thanks, I always wonder what locals eat in the wine regions.
Me gustaria estudiar para sommelier,soy de Salta con conocimientos en ingles y bebidas en general pero no se donde estudiar o siquiera tratar de buscar trabajo como aprendiz asi que estoy aprendiendo con videos como este por internet, podrias guiarme un poco por favor?Estoy un poco perdido y me vendria bien la ayuda de un profesional que noesta vendiendome un curso
Is beef empanada
Lucas, I’ve just had a bottle of Cumpa from the calchaqui valley. Fantastic, any recommendations from those high altitude wineries?
You must try Cabernet Frank from here (Argentina), from Gualtalarry, El Gran Enemigo, 2013 100 point, Arnaldo B, Yacochuya from Cafayate, any Catena Zapata, came here and try asado (meat) with any red wine and Friends have not price!!!
Madeleine you’re awesome you’re finally investigating South American wines..so much good wine information Don’t stop at Argentina and Chile many other countries make delicious wines.. love your show!!
I am a big fan of Argentinian red wines. I would definitely recommend Bodegas Catena Zapata or Fabre mountmayou
best wine I ever tried is “Grand Vin”
From Mendoza OMG!
Cheers 🤙
Salta also produces some incredible reds. They often blend Malbec with Tannat, which makes some quite unique wines. Highly recommendable.
I was informed by a wine connoisseur that the Bonarda grape was brought to Argentina by Italian emigrants from the Piedmonte area. Some of them had worked just over the border in French Bonarda growing areas where the terrain was at a much lower altitude compared to where they planted the vines in Argentina which produced a much better quality of wine. Today in Piedmonte, the Bonarda is also grown but most of the end product is 'frizzante', slightly sparkling.
Surprisingly, the grape called Bonarda in Argentina is actually a variety called "Douce Noir" and it's very widely planted there. This being said, it was likely confused with the Italian Bonarda, which is exactly as you described!
I watched the price of my favorite Malbec climb higher during the last twenty years. People figured out what I found out years ago. Argentina wine is excellent. We are lucky as earthlings to taste the differences of a single grape variety that is grown in so many different parts of the world. Let's hold on to it.
As a Greek wine enthusiast I found Greek wines somewhere between old and new world so Argentinian wines are very understandable for me and my taste also gives you a nice interesting take on international varieties! Never had a bad experience with Argentinian wines(or Chilean) also great quality for the price even with cheapies! Great malbecs, great cab-malbec, chardonnays (El enemigo my favorite) and the most safe easy to like especially for romantic dinner bonarda! My girlfriends favorite VIVA ARGENTINA 🇦🇷
Love this dialog about your love for Greek and South American wines. That's such an interesting contrast !
Argentina is the best "melting pot" of local native american culture and European cosmopolitanism.
Each corner each province is a whole new country.
Saludos desde Argentina.
I'm a big fan of Cobos wines. I've been in Mendoza and it's a Wine extravaganza place. I drunk a lot of 'garage' wines that were not so famous like Catena, Zuccardi but taste as good as these. A week is enough to know very well the region. BTW, talking to Alejandro Vigil (owner of El Enemigo) I talked about you and he knows you very well. Cheers
Catena, zuccardi are great but man El enemigo ooooo EXCEPTIONAL am a huge fan please more wines in Greece!
I love 😍 Luigi Bosca Wines. They have a beautiful Old Vines Malbec, and the Torrontes!!
Indeed, that would be one of the five classic wineries in Argentina, and quite distinctive of the old guard of winemaking Argentina oak & leather style. Modern tendencies are also quite interesting, differing from this and presenting a lot more fruit and soil dependant characteristics.
I was first introduced to an Argentinian malbec at a Brazilian steakhouse of all places.
I was having problems deciding which wine at Novihos in Bellevue and the server recommended whatever their malbec was that night. I wish I could remember it because it was like drinking a luscious cherry chocolate wine with all the beef we were having.....
Got introduced to an Argentinian malbec and I fell in love with wine after that
Syrah from Valle Pedernales are awesome. Costco has a malbec for $7 is from Broquel, good everyday option for the price.
unbelievable! that region is super special. Good call Valle Pedernal is high elevation hotspot in San Juan.
Definitely a Torrontes from Salta. I just discovered this a few months ago and it's now my go to white wine for more dinner backyard drinking. Aromatic but not overly powerful.
Love that you love this.
Bodegas Caro Amancaya Reserve Red a reasonable priced malbec/cab blend. Very smooth
good pick!
I've watched Madeline from the start of my wine life. She had mentioned Malbec in a video I watched a few years ago and I fell in love with Mendoza. Malbec is certainly my go-to preference for reds. Thanks for covering Argentina, Maddy! I can't want to get a bottle of Torrontés!
Just had a pinot from Argentina, very nice and only $20 now not the best pinot but for the money very nice! I believe it was from the Mendoza area.
So glad you mentioned Torrontes.
In Patagonia you can find some excellent Chardonnay (and of course, Pinot Noir) in wineries like Bodega Noemía (by Hans Vinding Diers) Bodega Chacra (by Piero Incisa della Rocchetta) and one of the most Austral Winery called Otronía, that have vineyards at the 45th parallel south
Torrontes is my favorite white wine by far. The bouquet is so amazing. Yet the palate is so crisp, clean and refreshing.
Glad you mentioned Bonarda, it's my new favourite varietal!
Argentinians has delicious Cabernet Franc too.
for white wine lover, I was totally crazy about Torrontes, not to sharp for acidity compare to sauvignon blanc but hips more aroma flavor. The overall style of torrontes is refreshing and sweet as a young lady. cheers!
Doing my part to be better educated in the world of wine (long overdue and I’m not getting any younger). Received my Magnun Edition yesterday and it helped immensely. ....So..... WF has been a great source and it is very good for beginners. I feel I know a good bit now beyond the very basics from reading the book and the articles on the site - but now I feel like I’ve been kicked out of the nest.... yes I want to fly on my own, but there’s still so much to absorb. While the site has perfectly written explanations for a good foundation, I’d love to see more content with info at an intermediate level. I’m working my way through wine info one country at a time (easier to retain that way) and I’d really love more detailed info on the breakdown of sub-subregions. Thanks for being such a helpful resource for those of us that have put off our personal wine journeys for way too long!
Thanks for the feedback. So, you looked at the Argentina wine guide (for example: argentina.guides.winefolly.com/region/mendoza) and checked out the sub-region articles and felt they could use more analysis? I think maybe what you need is some real examples, and a discussion around those examples. Maybe supplemental explorations. We do this on video, but it's in the paid course. :)
Just had a bottle of Cumpa, from the the calchaqui valley. Farmed at 1850 m. My first experience w high altitude wines, delicious and unique.
That's an incredible spot!
I like the way you pronounce your passion for wine. Just love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just love your energy and excitement
Congrats on the launch!!!
The creamy chardonnay sounds good to me 😋 with a spaghetti carbonara wow just awesome
Bressia Conjuro is my favorite Malbec from Argentina. Great tips Madeline, thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Glad you got another one out.
Hi, Madeline! So good to see your smiling face. Nice job. I know their great Malbec, but now will try the others.
My favourite Malbec is EL Esteco Fincas Notables. 😍
Today I'm enjoying a surprise: a $15 2018 Monastrell from the Valle de Uco in Mendoza. No statement of aging, but I think this is the current release. Tannic as all get-out, but I don't mind that every once in a while.
Hello, your description of Argentine wines is very interesting, some strains, of high altitude wines, are producing in the province of Salta at an altitude of more than 2000 meters above sea level an excellent Cabernet Franc, before they used it for cutting (you will surely know it ) It would be good if you could try it, personally I do not have a favorite grape, as long as it is good wine, whatever strain it is
Just fell in love with Malbec
Some great info in this Vid, Cheers!
Very good explanation!!!👍🍷
Love your style and wit while learning more about, you guessed it....WINE!
Yes! Thank you!
BTW...Bought Wine Folly book a few years ago...fantastic information in helping me find new varietals....many thanks!@@Winefolly
Digging your channel and the tasty info. herein. Thank you!
Love this video make videos like this 🤩🤩
Hello Madeline I recommend you a great wine (Cabernet Sauvignon from the winery Yacochuya in Cafayate-Salta) is AWESOME !!! If you are a cabernet sauvignon lover, you definitely have to taste this wine. ¡¡¡Cheers!!!
love from jndia
Thanks for the recommendations!
Go for red blends and not only solo Malbec. Plenty of price-quality options. Don’t forget Susana Balbo or Alejandro Vigil wines.
Tannat is other grape that grows amazing in argentina and is coomond to see blends with Malbec
My experience is that Argentinian Malbec from Mendoza beats French Malbec from Cahors. Especially in the affordable classes. Of course this is a personal note, but still...
7:28 Well, it's summer weather here and so I am having a Pfaffmann Rosé here while I am typing this. One of the funnest wines ever: color of rose to purple, I kid you not !
I only drank Trivento Malbec before, can't find others brand at my country.
I had the Red Schooner Malbec from Argentina and it was good. The Malbec is made by Caymus and they make it a NV.
Thanks 🍷🍷
Going to find some Torrontes
great mam
Hi, Madeline! Just got out of hospital yesterday. No wine for me for a while :( So I will have to live vicariously through you!
stay well!
Hey Madeline! Great overview of some of our best wine regions! Please allow me to add San Juan's Syrah from these different IG's Valle de Pedernal, Valle de Tulum and Valle del Zonda, and Merlot from San Patricio del Chañar in Neuquen and, Alto Valle in Rio Negro, both from Patagonia. Keep spreading the word, cheers!!!
Thanks for sharing your favorites Pablo!
wait wait wait wait.... Bonarda is commonly mixed with malbec to reduce its rusticness.... where they use less than 15% in the blend, they do not have to include it in the label, however Bonarda is the main grape of Argentina, as it's what they drink. I've had it in 3 styles from the same winery as the owners are local to my area.
Unoaked and young, it is similar to a Valopenciana, in weight body acidity, and nose, however it lacks the cheese note that I associate with it.
Oaked for long periods, it is VERY complex and requires long airing times. The winemaker said her best glass was after she opened the bottle and left it on the counter for a week.
Their Rose was designing ed to pair with sushi, and it's off dry. A great pairing!
Love that your giving some love to Bonarda, it's a fantastic grape.
I really like their cabs. I find them to be big and bold, well Oaked and with an nice earthy appeal, including a rustic mouth feel. But that’s just some of them & usually wrapped in thin shoe paper lol
shoe paper wines... mmmmmm
I've never like wine until I tried Malbec wine.
Madeline - could you recommend some Cab/Malbec blends to try? Sounds delicious!
Loved the post Maddy, only thing I wish you'd included was to have added Chilean Carmenere and Sauvignon Blanc, and we'd all gotten 2 countries in one episode! 👍👍
The team at IOI must have good taste because I first heard about Mendoza and Argentine wine through the Hitman 3 location
Will you please educate us on Vintage vs Non Vintage and affordable meaning less than $50 Champagne? You are awesome possum 👏👏👏👏🌸🌸🌸Thank you 😊
Bring on all the Bonarda!
Good Morning I’m looking to buy five thousand bottle corks , cork on the bottom and plastic on top . Thank you for any help you can give me .
Wait... what? Argentine Pinot? My mind has been blown!
I'm here for you! It was GOOOD
You dyed your hair! Which grape did you use?
My favorite Argentine Chardonnays are the ones with little or no oak, and having little (if any) evidence of malolactic fermentation. The crisp, bright, fruit-driven chardonnays that have almost no trace of that movie-popcorn butter so annoyingly prevalent in California Chards these days is what makes Argentine Chards stand out, IMO...
😍😍🇦🇷🇦🇷💜💜
Hopefully you get this comment but, Can you give a comment about "Criolla Grande" varietal?, have you try it?
It's a hugely important grape of Argentina based on plantings alone. Historic because it's what the missionaries planted since they came. As far as wines, I have one sitting downstairs in the studio waiting to get tested. Producers are trying to work with this grape to make great-tasting wines (it can be a bit vapid / boring). I'm hopeful!
@@Winefolly Thank you ver much for your reply, I did manage to get myself a bottle of it but haven't try it yet, perhaps this weekend
Have you ever came to Texas and had some Texas wine I think you would love it. You're way too cute by the way.
For some reason, maybe physical and cultural closeness, Argentine wine is ubiquitous here in Colombia. So it's good to see Argentine wine given due respect and being part of the conversation.
4:54 - 4:58 No, you aren't ! =:D
that thumbnail looks creepy AF
Wow, a Madeline Methuselah! So great to get this much of you. Feels like the old days. Looking forward to a deep dive on this guide. I am using the Walla Walla Guide to help host a trip for some friends in early September. Coincidentally, I’m enjoying a Zuccardi Malbec as I type 🍷. It’s all about the elevation. Keep going M.
