Tupungato is the northernmost sub-region of the Uco Valley in Mendoza. The region lies at the foot of the Tupungato volcano,one of the highest peaks in Argentina.
Full-bodied red wines made from Malbec and crisp, elegant whites made from Chardonnay are specialities of the terroir here.The kind of daily temperature range is excellent for the production of quality grapes; the nightly cooling-off extends the ripening period, letting grapes develop rich varietal character while retaining acidity.
The stony, free-draining alluvial soils found in the region are excellent for viticulture for this same reason: the lack of water in the soils stresses the vines, reducing vigor and yields and causing them to grow small, concentrated berries. The resultant wines are rich and complex, with firm tannins and good structure.
Along with Malbec and Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot are grown in Tupungato and are often seen combined in a Bordeaux Blend.
