The Vineyard at the End of the World

For generations, Argentine wine was famously bad – oxidised, unpalatable and often mixed with a low-class French grape called Malbec. But then in 2001, a Cabernet Sauvignon/Malbec blend beat all contenders in a blind taste test featuring Napa and Bordeaux`s finest. Today, Argentina and its signature wine are on the tip of every smart traveller`s tongue. The Vineyard at the End of the World explores the question of how this happened. Profiling the outlandish figures who fuelled the Malbec revolution – including celebrity enologist Michel Rolland, acclaimed American winemaker Paul Hobbs and the Mondavi-esque Catena family – Ian Mount describes in colourful detail the nefarious scams, brilliant business innovations and back room politics that put Malbec on the map.
