MENDOZA AND ITS WINE PRODUCING OASIS
Mendoza is the most important centre of the country,
concentrating 70 per cent of the production of grapes and wines
from Argentina, with more than 141,000 hectares and the largest
number of wineries in the country. The poor soils, a remarkable
thermal amplitude, low rainfall rates and good amount of
sunshine to the grapes are the factors that characterize its
terroirs.
In Mendoza, there are five very distinct areas that correspond
to the different oasis.
