UCO VALLEY
Uco Valley is one of Argentina’s most prestigious wine regions, located in Mendoza at the foothills of the Andes Mountains. Internationally acclaimed for producing premium high-altitude wines, Uco Valley has become a benchmark for modern Argentine winemaking, renowned for its exceptional Malbec, Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc, and terroir-driven wines.
The region's vineyards sit between 900 and 1,700 metres above sea level, benefiting from intense sunlight, cool nights, low rainfall, and alluvial soils rich in limestone and stones. These conditions allow grapes to ripen slowly while retaining freshness, acidity, and aromatic complexity, creating wines with remarkable purity and structure.
Uco Valley is particularly famous for Malbec wines that display blackberry, plum, violet, dark cherry, cocoa, and mineral notes supported by fine tannins and vibrant acidity. The region also produces outstanding Cabernet Franc with floral and savoury complexity, as well as elegant Chardonnay known for citrus, stone fruit, texture, and mineral freshness.
Home to many of Argentina’s leading wineries, including Catena Zapata, Zuccardi, Achaval-Ferrer, and Domaine Bousquet, Uco Valley has established itself as one of the world’s most exciting fine wine regions. Its combination of altitude, terroir, and innovation continues to attract collectors, sommeliers, and wine enthusiasts worldwide.
