With vines growing between 1,000 and 3,000 meters above sea level, Salta, Catamarca, and Tucumán make up the famous Calchaquí Valleys. A great varietal character and incredible concentration are the features that make their wines distinguished worldwide.
This grape is gaining ground on consumers' tables all over the world. It stands out for being easy to drink, with a great colour, soft tannins, and mainly low alcohol content, a distinctive feature in the face of new trends.
China, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore represent 5.61% of Argentine wine exports. Whereas, the two main markets account for 4% of the total bottled wine exported by the country. Wine consumption is concentrated on some destinations, and it is anticipated that there will be an exponential growth for Argentina.
Tourists in search of sensory experiences in wine, not only want to visit vineyards, and meet winemakers, they also want to taste the cuisine of Argentina for which it has been internationally recognised.
Wines of Argentina, Wines of Chile and Wines of South Africa are pleased to announce that the target for visitors at The Beautiful South tasting, held on 11th and 12th September 2013 at Olympia London, was exceeded.
