By far the largest and best-known winemaking province in Argentina, Mendoza is responsible for over 70% of the country?s enological output. Set in the eastern foothills of the Andes Mountains, the climate is dry and continental, presenting relatively few challenges for viticulturists during the growing season. Mendoza, divided into several distinctive sub-regions, including Luj?n de Cuyo and the?Uco Valley, is the source of some of the country?s finest wines.
