Wines
Argentina produces some very unique wine types. The most distinguished are Torrontés and Malbec.
Malbec, rich, dark, robustly fruitful, is the undisputed king of Argentine wines. Argentina has a highly developed wine culture, born of its Spanish roots and nurtured by waves of immigrants from other wine-loving countries. Yet it is Malbec that has made Argentina, and especially the region of Mendoza, famous as a center for world class wine.
