Morning light slides across low rows of Malbec vines as your private chauffeur steers out of Mendoza toward Luján de Cuyo. The air smells faintly of soil and fermentation; the Andes hold the horizon like an unread map. At Bodega Huarpe you move from barrel rooms into sunlit terraces, where guides explain stainless steel fermenters and old concrete eggs with the same steady pride.
