Short alluvial soils (10-80 cm) sandy-loam on pebbly conglomerate covered with calcium carbonate, strong diurnal range, cool nights, Argentine finesse.

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.
