A very interesting vintage in Argentina, resulting in some very good, age-worthy reds.

A cold winter was followed by a hot spring and summer, leading many producers to believe that this would be a very early vintage, as in Chile, however a change in the weather in January pushed the harvest back. Cool weather continued in February and March. Although this proved beneficial for the red wines adding acidity and flavour, the whites will be quite light because of some dilution from the rain. The producers with the best technology in the winery will make good whites for early to medium-term consumption.
