Luján de Cuyo

Luján de Cuyo is a part of the Mendoza River high region (also known as the Central Valley). The majority of the vineyards in Luján de Cuyo are planted with red varietals, with the standout most often than not being Malbec. Considered by many winemakers as a viticultural ”promised land,” Luján de Cuyo was the first region to institute the AOC (Appellation d'Origine Controlée) for Argentine Malbec. Approximately 40 minutes southwest of the city of Mendoza, Luján de Cuyo is regarded as the birthplace of the movement that catapulted Argentine wines from the common table to the international stage.
