Luján de Cuyo is a part of the Mendoza River high region (along with Maipú). The majority of the vineyards in Luján de Cuyo are planted with red varietals such with the highlight 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, many Argentine wine experts regard Luján de Cuyo as the birthplace of the movement that catapulted Argentine wines from the common table to the international stage.
