Guide to Río Negro wine region
Río Negro, the province named after its glassy River Negro, is home to a historic wine region of Argentina that is gradually coming back into the limelight. Like most of Argentina’s wine regions, Río Negro also sits in the rain shadow cast by the Andes mountains, which lie far beyond the horizon some 350 km away. The breezy, dry and temperate climate, along with irrigation made possible by the river, have made this an ideal environment for growing grapes.
