Which statement about the North Wine Zone's predominant grape varieties is true?

The North Wine Zone is known for its mix of white and red varieties, with Torrontés as the emblematic white and Malbec as a major red. Malbec ends up among the predominant varieties planted in this zone, making it the best-supported statement. Chardonnay is more of a feature in other zones, and Merlot, while grown there, does not hold the same predominant status. So, Malbec being among the main varieties appropriately reflects the region’s planting patterns.
