The wines from Argentina have taken world of wine by storm. Lovers of Big Red Wine are flocking to Argentine Malbec, Cabernet and Bordeaux style blends and the reason is that they offer better value for money than any other full bodied red in the world. In today´s world with the economy downturn, wine buyers have changed their habits, trading down, if they were spending fifty dollars on a bottle. They are now looking more in the twenty to thirty dollar range. If they were spending twenty to thirty dollars, they are now looking for wines under the twenty dollars per bottle. They are also looking more for wines to drink rather than wines to lie down. The popularity of Argentine reds has increased dramatically as a result.

If you love big reds that have real depth and concentration and you do not want to spend over fifty bucks a bottle, Argentina has the answer. I am not talking big rich soda pop reds that taste like gumballs that were made in a wine factory and give you a huge headache in the morning. I am talking old vines, great winemaking, and serious vineyard management.

The proof is in the numbers. Last year, 2008, imports to the USA of table wines from all over the wine world were either flat and in many cases down. Imports of Argentine wines to the USA on the other hand were a completely different story; imports actually rose by a whopping 40%. The reason for this is that they make great wine at reasonable prices. Your bang for your buck is the best from Argentina.

Consumers in there search for more value in their wines has become more adventurous in their buying. As a result Malbecs from Argentina have become the hottest new grape. Requests for Malbec are starting to outpace Pinot Noir and the finest Malbecs come from Mendoza Argentina. Malbec has become Argentina´s signature red grape. The Grape originated in Bordeaux just Like Cabernet and Merlot where it is used mainly for blending. Malbecs have also developed some notoriety in the French appellation of Cahors where they are called the black wine. In Argentina the grape has flourished where it has become uniquely Argentinean in style and flavor. Big and rich yet superbly supple, huge concentration that is matched with elegance.

The key to Argentine Malbec´s unique style is that all vines in Mendoza come from the original grafts that were bought to the country in the 1800´s. Instead of bringing in new clones and grafts from all over the world as the vineyards flourished. Cuttings were taken from existing vines to plant new vineyards and when vines got to old, a branch of that vine was inserted back into the earth which results in a new plant. The result is a mastery of these vines and the Malbec Grape they produce weather in managing the vineyards, making the wines, or in the cellar.
