Here at Argento, we have hand-picked vineyards from the best regions around Mendoza, each with its own personality, allowing us to better match all these factors to grape varieties and so develop excellent fruit character, structure and complexity.

The Classic Argento Range is sourced from a combination of wine regions around Mendoza, focusing primarily on the Central Region. Argento Reserva and Artesano ranges are sourced from our highest altitude vineyards of 1,100 to 1,400m (3,600 to 4,500ft) in the Uco Valley and La Consulta districts.

The Tunuyán River continues its journey through the vineyards of Junín and Rivadavia, descending into the desert region east of Mendoza. Under this region's hot sun we grow some of our fruitiest Pinot Grigio, as well as great Bonarda and Shiraz. Spicy, floral aromas and ripeness are just two of this region's great virtues.

As the Mendoza River skirts the edge of the city it wanders through the vineyards of Luján de Cuyo and Maipú, two of Mendoza's most traditional terroirs. This central region ranges in altitude from 600 to 1,100m (2,000 to 3,600ft) above sea level and benefits from old alluvial deposits and the disintegration of minerals from the Andes Mountains. Key varieties here are Malbec, Chardonnay, and Cabernet Sauvignon, which yield wines of great structure and intensity. Agrelo, located in the centre of Luján de Cuyo, is where Argentine Malbec was born. Its ideal soil composition has led to highly praised wines of international prestige, preferred by connoisseurs all over the world.

Famous for its high-altitude vineyards and cool climate, the Uco Valley sits in the foothills of the Andes about 60 miles south of Mendoza city. Numerous streams of fresh snow-melt irrigate the fertile soil, collecting in the Tunuyán River. In the heart of this renowned valley is Tupungato, or "star view point" in the local native tongue, named after the impressive volcano nearby. At up to 1,400m (4,500ft) above sea level, it has some of the highest vineyards in the world, resulting in cool weather and extreme temperature differences from day to night. This is where Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio and Merlot strive, as well as a very floral, fresh Malbec with sweet fruit and firm tannins, making wines of great natural acidity and ageing potential.
