Argentina's wine frontier, cool continental climate at low altitude (~200 m), strong natural acidity. Signature Pinot Noir, now a regional emblem: fine, silky reds with signature notes of tart cherry, raspberry, wild strawberry, undergrowth, violet and sweet spices, delicate tannins and taut freshness — a southern Burgundian style. Also Malbec fresher than in the north, round Merlot. Taut Sémillon, Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Riesling whites.
