**Uco Valley** ... — a high-altitude wine region in Argentina's Mendoza province, spreading across the foothills of the Andes to the south of Mendoza city. It has become one of the country's most exciting sources of premium wine. **Wines & grapes** — Malbec is king, but the cool elevation also suits Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and aromatic whites, with fresh, high-toned styles increasingly the signature. **Character** — vineyards planted well above a thousand metres enjoy intense sunlight by day and cold nights, which preserves acidity and builds colour and aromatics. Stony, alluvial soils and the altitude give Uco Malbec more freshness, floral lift and firm structure than warmer, lower Mendoza sites. **Good to know** — the valley's cooler, higher plots have driven Argentina's move toward more elegant, terroir-focused wines.
