Mendoza Argentina- A Superior Land. A Superior Terroir.

When describing what makes Mendoza Argentina an ideal place to make wine, one must mention all factors affecting the final product. These factors can be described as the terroir. Perhaps the most unique quality of this region is the high elevation. The best grapes or fruits are grown at 3000-5000 feet and are subject to wide day and night temperature differences. During the cold nights the fruits stop growing, which allows for gradual maturation and help concentrate sugars. In fact, the average temperature decreases about 2 degrees Fahrenheit for every 330 feet increase in elevation. The wine maker will use these different altitudes and microclimates to maximize a variety's full potential or even to adjust the particular variety's style.
