'The Wait' wines come from the Mendoza region of Argentina. Mendoza is located in the mid-west of Argentina, at the foot of the Andes Mountains. Mendoza, is the heart and soul of Argentina's wine country, where European settlers introduced the ancient craft of winemaking in the 19th century.

The basis of its excellent wines is the exceptional climate which allows the grapes to fully ripen. Mendoza is the center of Argentina’s wine industry, its signature grape being the Malbec. The climate and terroir in Mendoza are the ideal setting for the full expression of this grape variety. Widely known by its beautiful landscapes, Mendoza enjoys a strategic geographical location.

Mendoza has a temperate, semi-desertic continental climate, with copious amounts of intense sunlight – some 320 days per year on average – and rainfall that rarely exceeds 8 to 10 inches per year. With intense sun and little rain, Mendoza yields ultra-ripe grapes. The bone-dry air means that Argentine vineyards are mostly free of fungal diseases, virtually eliminating the need to spray preventive chemicals. Rivers originating in the Andes Mountains provide plentiful water for irrigation. Harvest normally happens between February and early April.
