The Province of San Juan (north of Mendoza) is the second producer of wine in Argentina. San Juan' signature grape is syrah, specially from vineyards in the Tulúm Valley. Everything started back at the end of the 1500's with the spanish conquistadors. But they are also producing malbec and I wanted to pass the information along. The most famous producer in San Juan is Bodegas Graffigna, but some new producers are doing some really good stuff:
"... Las Moras Malbec, warm your taste buds as you bear this season's weather. January's wine is found in the Tulúm Valley in San Juan Argentina. The vineyard uses the melt water from the Andes and the grapevine grows in a sandy soil, broken rocks and pebbled sub-soil, with very low level of organic matter. The desert climate produces a soft, full bodied wine with a ripe red berries and plum flavors with an elegant touch of smoke and vanilla. Serve Las Moras with red roasted meats and pasta dishes with tomato sauce..."
Finca Las Moras is a fairly new winery, with an 8 years old vineyard, drip irrigated with melt water from the Andes, 650 m above sea level."... An exceptionally pleasant, well balanced and enjoyable wine, at an incredible price. Mouthfilling, reasonably tightly structured, very flavoursome but at the same time bright and lively..."
Going for less than U$ 15.00 this one is definitely a Best Buy.
