Argentinian Red Wine
Argentina is the fifth-biggest producer of wine in the world, and some of the red wine from Argentina is right up there with even the very best from the old world. Like many new world wine regions, Argentinian red wine is currently enjoying a rejuvenation on the world scene, and this is due to the incredibly consistent climate, which allows growers to get the very best out of the crop.
