The history of Argentina has typically facilitated the production of wines. During the Spanish Colonial government and even during the last years of the XIX century, local wine preparation was quite classical. The grapes were pressed in traditional mills or cattle would perform the trampling of the grapes, and the wine put away in leather open bottles after they were parked in jars clay. Then, the wort was stored in different clay vessels. It was not usual to keep the wine in leather recipients (botas), like the Spanish used to. The first local independent government was the initial point of local wine elaboration. The reason for this was because the city of Buenos Aires (and even Montevideo, just across River Plate) ceased to import Spanish wines and started to use those produced in the same territory or in the Sierras de Córdoba and Mendoza. From there onwards, wine started to be produced locally, with increasing volume along the coming years.
