Valle de Uco, approximately 70km south of Mendoza, Argentina. 35oC and still well over a month before the summer. On an early Friday afternoon I’m standing on the side of the road trying to shelter in the shadow of a transition pole. I’m waiting for the director of Bodegas Rolland to pick me up for a tour. These few minutes there taught me a quick lesson on what the sun is capable of here. I’m very glad to see my saviour as by now a good part of water has already evaporated from me.
