Wines from Argentine

Wine has therefore retained an essential place in the church and at the table. At the request of the Argentine government, the French agronomist Michel Pougeot introduces a variety of French variety: Malbec! This powerful grape variety finds a land of predilection there, it very quickly becomes an emblem that the Argentines appropriate. The wine market in Argentina is experiencing great development, production is no longer focused on quantity but on quality.
