The road falls away from Mendoza and the Andes rise like a living map—sharp ridgelines dusted with snow against a wide, blue sky. You arrive in Valle de Uco with heat on the asphalt and cold wind coming off the high foothills; vineyards fan out in neat rows, their leaves reflecting the hard light as winery buildings stand low and modern against the mountains.
