Gouguenheim , located in Valle Escondido (about 50 miles from Mendoza), is now producing some of the best Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Chardonnay and Merlot in Argentina. The grapes for this wine come from Tupungato, 3,300 feet above sea level. The region has a desert climate with about 320 days of sunshine per year. Water for the vineyards comes from runoff from the Andes Mountains and is irrigated into the sandy soil. ""Intense ruby red color, enticing aromas of ripe plum and wild berries. The berry flavors are joined by accents of spice, chocolate and a hint of tobacco on the palate. The ripe, vibrant tannins give the wine a beautiful structure and an amazing long finish.""
