Nowadays, as it has been for several years now, Mendoza vineyards continue to receive honors for their premium quality in the city of Bordeaux (France), the world's wine capital. Many of its varieties are awarded honors in the most well-known international expos, such as the malbec, cabernet sauvignon, merlot, barbera d'Asti and pinot noir, as well as the reds and resoling, semillon, Chinin blanc, and chardonnay torrontés dèmi white.
The history of the country has typically favored the manufacturing of wines. During the Spanish Colonial government and even during the last years of the XIX century, local wine elaboration was quite classical. The grapes were pressed in traditional mills and sometimes the grapes were trampled by cattle, and the wine stored in leather open bottles after they were parked in jars clay. Then, the wort was stored in different clay vessels. It was not usual to keep the wine in leather recipients (botas), like the Spanish used to. Cutting ties with Spain, and the first native government was the starting point for local massive wine production. This was due to the fact that the city of Buenos Aires (and even the neighboring Montevideo) stopped importing Spanish wines and started to use those produced in its surroundings or in the Sierras de Córdoba and Mendoza. From there onwards, wine started to be produced locally, with increasing volume along the coming years.
Wine manufactured in Argentina has been awarded many prizes in international expos, particularly in the last decade through the efforts of local wineries and the admiration of world-renowned winemakers who fell in love with wine Malbec from Argentina and in particular, like the Italian specialist Alberto Antonini. Wine production in Mendoza is worth visiting. The grapes are harvested in wine oasis, with irrigation provided by melting in the high mountains. These waters are carried from rivers and carried by channels and aqueducts to the field where grapes are grown.
The Executive Hotel in Mendoza provides an amazing tour to a number of local vineyards, where guests can get a glimpse of the traditional though complicated elaboration of fine wines. And, of course, during this experience taste the most renowned wines of Mendoza.
