COMMENTARY: The 2019 Don Rodolfo Art of the Andes Moscato is playful and sweet. TASTING NOTES: This wine burst in the aromas and flavors with apricots, flowers, and candy. Enjoy it as a warm day refresher or serve with fresh fruit. (Tasted: July 18, 2020, San Francisco, CA)
Argentina's major wine regions are located in the western part of the country and are seated along the base of the Andes Mountains. With one of the widest diurnal temperature variations in the world, Argentina's summers can hit as high as 104ºF and nights cooling off to 50ºF. This arid desert-like climate relies on the pollution-free water from the melted glaciers in the Andes in order to naturally irrigate each vineyard. Argentina also has some of the highest altitudes vineyards in the world, with an average altitude of 3,000 feet high. These extreme and strenuous geographic characteristics allow Argentina's vines to really struggle and produce lower yields with higher quality and more concentrated wines.best — of Argentina's wines. Don Rodolfo is one such winery.
