Malbec's boom
US press highlights the chances of Argentinian wine during crisis time.
They say that this product, especially Malbec, is in its best moment and Argentina is offering what the market needs: "good values."
Malbec impacts on international press Malbec is the Argentinian emblematic grape par excellence and, considering consumers' attitude to face the crisis, it has achieved to be the center of attention of the biggest export markets.
The Cabernet tradition
This is one of the most traditional and significant varieties in Argentina. Despite having lost ground as a result of Malbec´s strengthening in the past years, Cabernet Sauvignon is deeply rooted in domestic consumption. Nevertheless, this variety has great competitiveness in several parts of the world but, according to experts, it will not lead Argentina in the differentiation it seeks.
