ArgentinaInformation
Malbec is a red grape variety that is originally from France but has found a new home in Argentina. The grape thrives in the high-altitude regions of Argentina, particularly in the Mendoza region, where it produces wines with deep color, velvety texture, and flavors of dark fruit, such as blackberry, plum, and black cherry. Argentine Malbecs also often have notes of chocolate, vanilla, and a hint of smokiness, which comes from oak aging. Malbec is a versatile wine that can be paired with a variety of foods, including grilled meats, hearty stews, and strong cheeses. It is also a great wine to enjoy on its own.
Fun facts
Malbec's introduction to Argentina dates back to the mid-19th century when French agronomist Michel Aimé Pouget brought Malbec vines from France to Mendoza at the request of the Argentine government. This historical moment laid the foundation for Argentina's love affair with Malbec, sparking a viticultural revolution that would shape the nation's wine industry for centuries to come.
