This year’s environmental challenges could lead to the worst harvest in decades for Argentine winemakers.
Drought conditions are causing an especially dire situation in the Mendoza wine region, according to a March 23 article by France24. Extreme heat, lack of rain, hail, and frost have all contributed to what is expected to be an exceptionally small harvest from the region. Mendoza, a large province in western Argentina, accounts for some 78 percent of all Argentinian wine production.
