WINE-3-4 · The New World and the Wider World · WINE-3-4.1 The Americas

Explains how the Humboldt current, the Andes and Chile s natural quarantine from phylloxera shape its wines, and why the east-west Costa, Entre Cordilleras and Andes zones describe style better than valley names. Shows how altitude in Mendoza drives diurnal range, colour, tannin and acidity, and what separates a cheap Malbec from an expensive one.
