he gauchos of the famed Pampas of Argentina, live and breathe the life of a cowboy herding the cattle and, at dinner time, salivate over the deliciously flavoured Asado. What better to pair with this fabulous meat dish then the signature red wines of Argentina, made from the voluptuous Malbec grape. Gently caressed from its home in Bordeaux, the Malbec grape now mostly found in France in Cahors, has been hailed as a hero in Argentina and is the grape that best represents this country’s red wine. The region of Cafayate which boasts the magnificent Torrontes grape, is a personal favourite of those with a taste for, and nose for, aromatic wines. This is Argentina’s other signature grape variety. Argentina is bordered by the Andes mountain range in the Western part of the country. This mountain range was a barrier in days of old but also offers the life sustaining water that now finds its was into thirsty vineyards.
