About Malbec

Malbec is a dark-skinned red grape variety originally from Cahors in southwest France, where it is still grown under the name “Côt.” However, it has become synonymous with Argentina, where it thrives in the high-altitude vineyards of Mendoza. In Argentina, Malbec has reinvented itself with a plush, fruit-forward style full of ripe black fruit and smooth tannins.

Malbec gained global recognition for producing accessible, crowd-pleasing red wines with bold flavor and high value. Its deep color, robust structure, and versatility have made it a favorite for steak pairings and barbecues. Though often enjoyed young, top-tier Malbecs from old vines and high elevations offer impressive complexity and aging potential.
