For lovers of good wine, I bring you a gem that I discovered thanks to a colleague who specializes in the subject. It is about the best 10 wines from Argentina, selected at the renowned Wine Makers festival.


This event brings together the most outstanding wine producers in the country, presenting their most exceptional creations to be evaluated by experts. The expert who shared this list mentioned the impressive diversity and quality of these wines, highlighting the intensity of the Malbecs and the elegance of the Cabernet Sauvignons.


The Wine Makers festival, according to this recommendation, not only celebrates Argentina's winemaking tradition, but also highlights the innovation and creativity of the producers. For those seeking a unique experience for the palate, this event is a treasure trove of discoveries.


Buenos Aires has a rich and varied gastronomic scene, including ideal places for wine tasting.


So, if you are in search of wines that tell stories of tradition, passion and meticulous care, this selection seems to be a safe bet. The recommendation concluded with a toast to Argentina's extraordinary wine tradition - cheers and enjoy this unique sensory experience! 🍷✨

How was the search for the winner?


Once the different wine flights had been tasted, all of which were red wines, an evaluation process was carried out in which a Top Ten was generated, and the first ten wines chosen were awarded an official "cucarda", which allows them to visually communicate the distinction obtained to their consumers with a badge on each award-winning bottle. The scoring system used was from 0 to 100 points and the data upload was certified before a notary public.
