Do not reduce a component role to its grape name or infer equivalent roles for whiskey brands. Torrontés descriptions in PDF325–326 require care over strain versus region. Historical dates, genetic claims, DO precedence and statistical totals remain source claims. Distinguish Pedro Giménez from Pedro Ximénez and Criolla Grande from Criolla Chica. September 28 visual audit: the latitude labels in the Argentina map at PDF321 are inconsistent with the Patagonia latitude range stated on PDF325. Use the schematic only as a dated orientation aid; do not copy it as an authoritative geographical reference.
Full-source second-edition wine/blind-tasting review; supplied PDF positions, not printed pagination.
The Argentine chapter places vineyards within Andean irrigation systems and distinguishes Mendoza's five areas, San Juan, Salta, La Rioja and Patagonia. It compares Malbec with Cabernet, Syrah and Bonarda, and treats Torrontés and Chardonnay separately. Cabernet and Syrah are described as contributing structure, freshness or spice to blends under particular conditions.
