Harvest time in Mendoza. Let the harvest begin
It’s late summer in Argentina – harvest time for the nation’s grape crop. Though mechanical grape harvesters have been available since the 1960s, many wineries still prefer to hand-pick grapes to ensure gentler treatment and a higher-quality grape selection. Both methods seem to work well in Mendoza: the region has become the largest wine producer in Argentina, best known for its high-altitude Malbec wines grown at the foothills of the Andes. Salud!
