After a 14 hr overnight bus ride, I arrived at Mendoza and checked in at the Hostel suits Mendoza. Took an organised vino tour to explore this Malbec vineyard country. We first went to an olive farm, which is also a big agricultural export for Argentina. We went to a medium sized vineyard and to a family run vineyard which was more intimate and had really interesting blends. Pedro the owner and winemaker made a family blend where he made a blend dedicated to his kids; Cab sav (representing his eldest daughter), Malbec (his son) and Merlot (his youngest daughter). The main grape produced and exported in Argentina is the Malbec, but they also grow Cabernet Sauvingnon, Merlot, Chenin blanc, Torrontés and more. Now to savour a glass, Salud!
