I have to confess, I'm a bit of a fan of the red stuff. So when the opportunity came to visit one of Argentina's largest and most prestigious wineries came up, I was there. Bodegas Lopez produces 50 million litres of wine every year with 95% consumed locally. They use traditional Spanish wine making techniques, aging in oak for up to 6 years their reds and producing dry "easy drinking"wines. The signature wine for the region is Malbec, a dry red grown at altitude. It contributes 60% of the red wine produced and it's very good.
