Argentina's identity is best defined by the terms “wild sophistication”. Owing to the blend between our ancient aborigine civilizations and our European influence, we come together as a fusion between wild nature and refined elegance. Our colossal territory and landscape variety make up for a unique combination reflected in the wine making process. The aim of WofA is to contribute to the consolida
tion of Argentina as one of the main wine exporting countries in the world and to the global success of the Argentine wine industry by enhancing its positive image in the wine trade, among opinion leaders and consumers. It currently provides services to member wineries from every Argentine wine region and helps them to promote their products around the world. Located in the Southern Cone of the American Continent, with a population of 44 million inhabitants and a territory that is four times larger than France, Argentina is undoubtedly one of the world’s nature reserves. Privileged with outstanding natural richness and extraordinarily diverse landscapes, Argentina boasts high mountains and plains, lush vegetation and extreme deserts, forests and steppes, glaciers and waterfalls. This wealth of natural ecosystems includes vast grapegrowing regions stretching at the foot of the Andean strip, to the West of the country, from latitude 22° south to latitude 42° south. The cultivated area covers more than 538,071 acres. The result is a fruit of outstanding quality; our grapes grow at high altitude in the context of a continental and dry climate, on highly mineralized soil irrigated by the pristine meltwater from the Andes. In addition, our terroir's extension and variety offer the possibility of growing quality vineyards in vast areas. Argentina is a mysterious land; we are traditional yet innovative, our origins stem from European immigration yet we are a young and bustling country, we possess an unmethodical style with a firm will to strive. These assets contribute to making our wine making process a very passionate endeavor. In the framework of our contradictions, great flavors emerge.
