Malbec

The Grape. The Region.

Since its arrival in Argentina from France in 1852, the Malbec grape has thrived in the high-altitude, sun-drenched climate of Argentina’s famed Mendoza region. Today, Malbec largely remains a blending grape in France. In the Southern Hemisphere, however, it is Argentina’s signature grape variety and the catalyst behind the country’s success on the world wine map.

Wine Style. Wine Flavor.

A quintessential expression of the Argentine vineyard, Malbec exhibits colors of intense violet and purple. It is typically a medium- to full-bodied wine, with rich aromas of dark fruits, cocoa and mocha. Soft, round tannins and flavors of plum and blackberry are evident on the palate.

Sip. Eat.

Pair Malbec wine with red meat dishes and tomato-based cuisine.
