Río Negro
Piensa en los tres grandes viajes del vino de Argentina como un espectro. Mendoza is the grand, sunny capital of plush Malbec. Salta is the extreme high-altitude north, all desert light and aromatic Torrontés. Patagonia is the cool, windswept south — lower, fresher, more European, and built on Pinot Noir.
For travellers, Patagonia is the one you fold into a bigger southern adventure: lakes, rivers, fly-fishing, the Andes, and long, unrushed afternoons in the Río Negro valley with a cold-climate red in hand.
