What are some up-and-coming grape varieties in Argentina?

Were it not for Malbec, the star variety of Argentine wine, other underdogs, albeit growing in popularity among both the growers and the consumers, have come into the spotlight and are being widely sought after. Cabernet Franc, having the sound of the terroir - the unique mixture of soils, climates, and meteorological conditions, is known for its sophisticated aroma and velvety texture. This gives the wine the ability to age and results in elegant wine. Little Verdot brings color and body to blends, while Tannat arrives with daring tannins and dark fruit flavors, thus, paving the way for the multi-faceted wines of Argentina which perfectly match the typical bon vivant Argentinian style.
