Vistalba is a small Argentine wine-producing sub-region directly southwest of Mendoza City. Malbec is Vistalba's key grape variety, but Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon vines are also planted here.
Vistalba, which means "view of the dawn" in Spanish, enjoys a position that is slightly higher than the surrounding regions. The sub-region thus benefits from increased exposure to sunlight and better air circulation..
As in much of the Mendoza region, the soil in Vistalba is alluvial, with sandy topsoil over a stone- and clay-dominated base. This composition allows very good drainage and is therefore excellent for quality-driven viticulture.
Many top producers have vineyards and wineries in the Vistalba region. The cast includes Fabre Montmayou, Nieto Senetiner, Trapiche and Bodega Vistalba.
