Malbec wine

Malbec, also known as Auxerrois or Côt, is a red variety native to Cahors, France, which was brought by emigrants to Argentina where it adapted so well that it is now the most widely planted variety in the country and the one that gives Argentine wines their identity.

The Malbec grape bunches are medium sized, with round berries and they love the sun! This means the berries grow a thicker skin with high colour pigments that result in wines with a characteristic beautiful purple colour.

Malbec wines don’t have as long a finish as Cabernet Sauvignon wines, a grape they pair very well with; however, these are the perfect wines to pair with lean meats and intense cheeses like blue cheese.
