Argentina
Argentinian Wine: While Argentina is considered to be 'new world', its winemaking tradition is much older than you might think, stretching as far back as the time of Spanish colonisation in the 1500s.
Today Argentina is the 5th largest wine producing country in the world and it owes much of its success to the succulent, spicy and deep Malbec that it produces. Pair it with a steak to see what all the fuss is about...
But the country has much more to offer than Malbec alone. Its famous white wine, Torrontés, is a floral and citrusy treat, while winemakers working high in the Andes outside Mendoza can achieve results similar to European wines with varieties such as Pinot Noir and Shiraz.
