This is what good wine from the Malbec grape tastes like

Malbec produces robust, deep purple-red wines with a plummy aroma, often revealing hints of violets and—especially in French versions—the spiciness of tobacco. These are soft wines with plenty of structure and ripe tannins. These are perfect pairings with steak, such as an Argentinian steak.

Malbec originates from southwestern France. It is the main grape of Cahors in the Sud-Ouest region. It is also planted in the Médoc, primarily to soften Cabernet Sauvignon. Over the course of the 20th century, many winemakers there replaced it with Merlot, which also softens but is much less susceptible to various diseases.

After years of neglect, Malbec is currently experiencing a spectacular revival, and this success can be attributed entirely to Argentinian winemakers. Malbec thrives in the high-altitude vineyards at the foot of the Andes. Mendoza, in particular, produces excellent Malbec wines.

We currently have eight wines made from the Malbec grape in our range. You can view our Malbec wines here.
