Explore the Uco Valley: Argentina’s Modern Malbec Trail

Located south of Mendoza City, the Uco Valley is the region attracting the most international attention. With vineyards ranging from 900 to 1,600 meters above sea level, the cooler climate allows for wines with higher natural acidity and vibrant floral aromatics. Unlike the deep, old soils of Luján, the Uco Valley is characterized by its rocky, calcareous soils. This unique terroir demands precision farming, resulting in wines with distinctive mineral texture and chalky tannins that experts highly seek out. It is truly the benchmark for modern Malbec.
