Fun facts

The first Malbec vines in the United States were planted in the 19th century by European immigrants, but it wasn't until the late 20th century that Malbec gained attention as a standalone varietal wine. American winemakers recognized its potential to produce deeply colored, fruit-forward wines with soft tannins similar to those from its adopted home in Argentina.
