For this episode, Jamie and Xander visit Argentina - home of the infamous Malbec, and much more! Argentina's viniculture is steeped in history and the product of a turbulent past. As they delve deep into the roots of Argentine wine, they discover everything; from the love/hate white 'Torontes' of the North West through to equisite bourdeaux-style reds of the south.

Jamie and Xander uncover the deep Argentinian passion for a humble way of life, living off the land and celebrating life's rich and simple pleasures; and how a European influence has left its mark on vineyards so far away.
