Argentina, producing intense wines and incredible value, has quickly taken its place in the South American spotlight with Chile . It is hard to believe that Argentina is the fifth largest wine producing country in the world. It has not been more than a decade since we saw only a few labels on any store’s shelves.   With far broader expanses of land than Chile ’s compressed valleys, Argentina offers much greater possibility for production and expansion.  The 2001 economic crash has held back development but still this country is a destination for a long list of foreign investors because of the excellent potential its vineyards have to offer.  The winemaking names behind many of our Argentine and Chilean imports are straight from the “who’s who in winemaking”, producing outstanding wines of exceptional quality from smaller estates.
