Argentina

The presidential Republic of Argentina in the south of South America with the capital Buenos Aires covers 2,780,400 km². It borders Chile to the west, Bolivia and Paraguay to the north, Brazil and Uruguay to the north-east and is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east. Until independence in 1816, it was part of the Spanish colonial empire.

History

In 1541, Spanish conquistadores planted vines at the mouth of the Rio de la Plata on the Atlantic coast, but without success. Argentinian viticulture began with the production of mass wine. The citizens of the northern city of Santiago del Estero in the province of the same name built a church and looked for a priest.

Sigi Hiss

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
