Wine from Argentina’s North

After a brief visit to Cafayate in 2000 when Greg visited me while studying abroad, we decided to head back on this trip. The town has certainly grown in tourism these past 8 years, and has capitalized on its winery tours. We arrived right at harvest time, and loved seeing the tours with wine-producing in action. Bodega Mounier (also known at Finca los nubes) was our favorite tour, partially because of its picturesque location and boutique production, but also because we’ve been enjoying Mounier’s Torrontés for months now. It was interesting to see some more mass-produced wineries like Bodega Echart and Esteco, which are strongly represented in the internal and international wine markets.
