MENDOZA´S WINE REGIONS

 
Mendoza is the nucleus of the Argentine wine industry. Although there are notable wine producing areas like Salta in the North and Patagonian Neuquen in the South, Mendoza province is the viticulture powerhouse with by far the biggest output and the longest history.
There are an estimated 800 wineries surrounding Mendoza City and their origins go right back to the beginning in 1561 when the city was founded by the Spaniards.
The province is broken into five different regions, each with its own unique ecology and terroirs.
   
The Centre - Lujan de Cuyo
Where it all began and the home of the famous Malbec.
Valle de Uco
This is an area that is garnering much international interest for its high-altitude and high-quality wine making.
The Centre - Maipú
This is the region of Mendoza where most of the early immigrants were settled.
The South - San Rafael
This oasis in Southern Mendoza province is irrigated by the rivers Diamante and Atuel.
Cafayate, Salta
Cafayate is Argentina´s Northern-most wine region.
The North - Lavalle
Mendoza's lowest altitude vineyards are found in this region.
The East - Rivadavia
The most productive area in the province.
