Perdriel is a small sub-region in the Mendoza wine region of Argentina. Its vineyards surround a small town of the same name, halfway between the Lujan de Cuyo appellation to the north and the Agrelo sub-district to the south. Perdriel's vineyards sit at an altitude of around 3000 ft (900m) above sea level, at a latitude of 33 degrees south.
The Mendoza river lies just to the south of Perdriel and is important to the viticulture here, as it is to most of the Mendoza region. The rain shadow cast by the Andes mountain range to the west makes for very low rainfall across the region, so the meltwater flowing down from the Andean peaks is a vital resource.
The more successful grape varieties planted in Perdriel's vineyards include Malbec, Merlot and Chardonnay.
