About the region

Mendoza at the foot of the Andes is Argentina's wine heart and accounts for the majority of the country's production. At high altitude, where meltwater from the mountains irrigates the fields, Malbec thrives above all. The grape produces deep, velvety red wines with ripe dark berries, plum and violets. The sunny highland climate and cool nights give colour, concentration and freshness.

Super service and very helpful. Lost one of the bottles during transport and reported it to Bottles With History. It was fixed immediately and a new bottle was sent immediately. (Actually a better wine in my opinion) It is very difficult to guarantee that older bottles are drinkable, like the Barolo from 69 I tried. Anders came to the rescue again and of course sent a new bottle of the same caliber. Thank you very much for the good service, can definitely recommend shopping here in safe hands.
