Buenos Aires wines

The soil is sandy, and given its latitude (around parallel 39° South, where the Pampa region and Patagonia converge) vineyards receive long hours of sun light, which result in grapes with high sugar contents.

[2] [3] The new Argentine wine-producing area is located far east from traditional vineyards which are grown at the west of the country, mostly near the Andes range.

[4] Médanos appellation is a geographic indication applied to wines produced in Médanos (Buenos Aires, Argentina) whose characteristics are a function and a direct result of the geographic area and the terroir in which the grapes are grown and the wines are produced and aged.

Given its proximity to the ocean, the Médanos terroir consists of sandy soil over a limestone plate with long sun hours and a resulting high termic amplitude during the day.

[5] The closeness to the ocean and the strong winds in the area develop thick skins in the grapes that contribute to complex wines with intense colors.
