The wine region of San Rafael
Argentine region south of Mendoza, altitude vineyards (400-800 m) between Andes and Pampa, 2nd Argentine DOC.

Firm Cabernet Sauvignon (blackcurrant, eucalyptus), supple fruity Bonarda, fresh Chenin and ample Chardonnay in whites. Dry climate with strong thermal amplitudes, Andes-irrigated.
The wine region of Mendoza
World capital of Malbec: powerful, deep reds with blackberry, plum, violet and sweet spice, round tannins and vivid fruit. Also firm Cabernet Sauvignon, supple, juicy Bonarda, aromatic floral white Torrontés. High-altitude vineyards (800-1,700 m) at the foot of the Andes, dry continental climate irrigated by glacial waters. ~80% of Argentine output across 150,000 ha.
The word of the wine: Yeast
Micro-organisms at the base of all fermentative processes. A wide variety of yeasts live and thrive naturally in the vineyard, provided that treatments do not destroy them. Unfortunately, their replacement by laboratory-selected yeasts is often the order of the day and contributes to the standardization of the wine. Yeasts are indeed involved in the development of certain aromas.
