Argentina Wines Are Closing In On #1
by: Sharon Tolisano Argentina is the fifth largest producer of wines in the world, but
apparently this South American country is gearing up for a first place finish!
With more than 1,000 new wine companies opened for business in 2005, exports and
profits rose more than one third from the previous year. This is wonderful news
for Argentina's economy, as well as for those wine enthusiasts in other areas of
the world that haven't had the pleasure of toasting a glass made from Argentine
criollas, or native vines. Although the majority of Argentinian wine is exported
to North America and the United Kingdom, new markets are on the rise in Finland,
Norway, India, Malaysia and Vietnam. No wonder! With the perfect climate and soil conditions for growing
grapes, Argentina creates wines of superior quality. The Malbec grape produces a
large portion of Argentina's red wines with its characteristics of berries,
plums, figs, and vanilla. European varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon with
overtones of pepper, chocolate and coffee, and the velvety plum and berry-like
Merlots and Syrahs are harvested in the shadow of the majestic Andes Mountains
and then produced into “bottled poetryâ€Â, as so aptly stated by
Robert Louis Stevenson. Exceptional quality and flavor at reasonable prices -- what more does one
need? Oh, yes -- a corkscrew, a glass and a toast! Now where did you say Napa
Valley was??!!
