Mendoza wine region of Argentina was originally known as Cuyo. This region experienced a dramatic boom in winemaking in the 19th and 20th centuries which resulted in the area developing into the fifth largest wine-growing region in the world and the largest in all of Latin America.
The climate of Mendoza wine region is continental with areas of semi-arid desert conditions. There are four distinct seasons throughout the year, without any real temperature extremes. This provides a very stable growing cycle for the vines without any major events such as winter dormancy. The main concern for winemakers regarding the climate is the hail during the summer months which is known to locals as La Piedra.
The soils of Mendoza vineyards are predominantly made of alluvial soils that contain loose sand over layers of clay. The many mountain rivers in the region including the Desaguadero, Mendoza, Tunuyán, Diamante, and Atuel Rivers, are excellent sources of irrigation. The water in these rivers is supplied by the melting glaciers in the Andes Mountains. Across Mendoza, there are more than 17 000 boreholes that provide the region with the equivalent of two rivers worth of water flow area. In addition to this, the region has an intricate irrigation system of canals, channels, and reservoirs that dates back to the 16th century.
Upon arrival at the wine tasting, guests will receive their wine-tasting card and complimentary $15 dinner voucher, which expires on 9/2/24. (Only one may be used per table).
