Kaiken
Kaiken, a new label, is the first Argentine venture of Aurelio Montes, the respected wine maker of the Chilean Vina Montes, producers of the Montes Alpha wines. The wines are produced from purchased grapes sourced from several different vineyards in the Tupungato area of Mendoza, and are being made at a leased winery facility. Montes plans to acquire his own vineyard in Argentina after determining where the best fruits are produced. His philosophy is the production of wines with true character, personality, elegance and expression. Kaiken is a Mapuche Indian word for a Patagonian goose that, appropriately, lives on both sides of the Andes. These wines are well worth trying, and offer pure fruit varietal expressions of quality South American wines.

Mendoza
Mendoza
One of the agricultural heartlands of Argentina, the province of Mendoza is just over the size of England and produces a wide variety of produce for domestic and international consumption. It also boasts two-thirds of Argentina's vineyard area. Sitting in the shadow of the Andes, the climate is sunny and dry, and the region receives little rainfall. With an average vineyard height of 1000 metres, altitude is a key factor in Mendoza grape production, as it reduces humidity and the thin air helps the sunlight penetrate and ripen the grapes. Malbec is the undisputed king of Mendoza, producing incredibly expressive wines with deep colour and a dark fruit character, along with a signature violet note. Mendoza holds 80 percent of Argentina's plantings of Malbec and the wines range from fruit-driven everyday styles through to complex, age-worthy wines. Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Torrontes and Sauvignon Blanc are also extensively planted across the region.

Malbec
Malbec is a red grape variety producing fruit with a dark,inky colour and robust tannin. In France the majority of the plantings can be found around the town of Cahors, in the south-west. These wines produce the darkest and most tannic expressions of the grape. In the New World, Argentina has proven itself to be at the forefront of Malbec production, and wines from here will have pure, dark-fruit and peppery, spicy character. Malbec is known for textural flavours of blackberry, plum, chocolate and tobacco.
