Dark fruits, spices, Andean sunshine… Argentine wine evokes all of this at once. But at Vinodelice, we go further. Here, we don't limit ourselves to Malbec: we offer you an exclusive selection of refined reds, unexpected whites, high-altitude cuvées, and artisanal discoveries that reveal the true face of the Argentine vineyard.
Argentina Beyond Malbec
Yes, Mendoza Malbec is a must-have: intense, fruity, generous. Originally from southwestern France, it has found a second home in Argentina, where altitude and sunshine offer it a unique expression, both warm and structured.
But Argentina is also:
Torrontés from Salta: ultra-aromatic white grape variety, with its fragrances of white flowers and peach. A reference in Argentine white wine.
Cabernet Franc from Quebrada de Humahuaca or Patagonia: livelier, more vertical, it appeals to lovers of finesse.
Pinot Noir from Patagonia or Uco Valley: pure, mineral, of great elegance.
Chardonnay, notably in the Uco Valley or Patagonia: taut, sometimes chalky, often very straight.
Bonarda, in warmer zones like San Juan: round, fruity, very Argentine.
Criolla Blanca, orange wines, white Malbecs… so many surprises that venture off the beaten path.
Spectacular Wine Regions
The Argentine vineyard extends from north to south, from extreme altitude to Patagonian freshness. Among the major zones to know :
Mendoza
The beating heart of Argentine red wine. Malbec of course, Pinot Noir, Cabernet… but also very beautiful whites based on Chardonnay, and even orange wines! The Uco Valley, at high altitude, is the playground of iconic estates like Domaine Nico or Paso a Paso. Don't miss Luján de Cuyo and Maipú, historic cradles of Malbec.
Salta and the Calchaquí Valleys
Vines among the highest in the world (up to 3000 m), lunar landscapes and floral Torrontés. This is also the region of Cafayate, as well as Agustin Lanus, Viñas en Flor or Domaine Dupont, with their elegant and deep reds.
Patagonia
Cooler and windier region, perfect for precise Pinot Noirs and crystalline Chardonnays. We also find beautiful Cabernet Francs there.
Jujuy
In the extreme north of Argentina, the Quebrada de Humahuaca shelters some of the country's highest vineyards. Cabernet Franc, Malbec or bold blends express themselves there with freshness and mineral intensity.
San Juan and Calingasta
Less known, this arid region at the foot of the Andes produces surprising cuvées based on Malbec, Ancellotta or Cabernet Franc, like Nido del Tigre.
High-Altitude Vineyards for an Extreme Climate
With climate change and often very high temperatures, Argentina has known how to take advantage of altitude : in the regions of Salta, Mendoza or Jujuy, vines climb up to 3000 meters. Result? Cool nights, slow maturity, preserved acidity and more precise aromatic expression. A precious asset for producing balanced and elegant wines, even under crushing sun.
Committed Winemakers, Bold Viticulture
Far from large industrial productions, we have selected winemakers who work on a human scale, often organic, sometimes at altitude, always with meaning and style. Paso a Paso, Viñas en Flor, Domaine Nico, El Esteco… Each of these estates embodies the vitality of a vineyard that innovates without denying its roots.
