Part of the Mendoza River high region (also known as the Central Valley), Maipú comprises a high concentration of bodegas that are known for producing some of Argentina's finest Malbecs from the region's oldest vines. A thirty-minute drive southeast of Mendoza's city center, Maipú is also a good place to sample other red varietals (including Cabernet Sauvignon, Tempranillo, and Syrah) in addition to Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin, Torrontes and Viognier.
