Wine lovers worldwide know that Argentina is one of the best wine-producing countries.

Common Argentinian Wine Types

Much like other liquor types, wines also have different varieties. These varieties help categorise the liquors, and they also tell us about their components in a way. Since Argentina cultivates a wide variety of grapes for wines, it is a good idea to discuss these types.

Here are the most common Argentinian wine types:

• Malbec - Malbec is the primary wine type of Argentina. The country’s conditions make cultivating these grapes possible. This wine type gives you a dark, fruity, flavourful, and slightly acidic taste.

• Tempranillo - Hailing from Spain, it’s only natural that this wine type makes its way to other South American countries. Tempranillo is well-known for its earthy flavours, slight acidity and spicy finish.

• Cabernet Sauvignon - This wine is an unmistakably French wine type. Its French heritage is genuinely apparent from its name to the fusion of two different French grape types. This wine type offers hints of black cherry, currant, and various spices, giving you a distinctly French touch.

• Syrah - Also known as Shiraz, undergoes a unique manufacturing process that gives this wine type its equally impressive colour, consistency and taste. This wine type offers a sweet, fruity flavour with a smooth body that flows well.
