Malbec

 

Associated with Argentina where it has become its signature grape variety, this inky dark wine is incredibly popular. Its origins began in France (don’t they all?) and it came to prominence in Cahors in the southwest. The story goes that it was Eleanor of Aquitaine that first championed Malbec as she became Queen of France –and then England and the wine became known as the royal wine of choice. Just as today’s royals can influence fashion,  it became a hugely desirable and fashionable drink which continues today.

Our curated collection is sure to amaze and excite any red-wine lover.

Malbec is celebrated for its deep colour, full body, and fruit-driven complexity. Our collection spans the globe, featuring Malbecs that are as diverse as the regions they come from, each offering a unique expression of this versatile grape.

Understanding Malbec:

  • Origins and Characteristics: While originally from France, where it's still used in blends and known as Côt, Malbec has found a remarkable home in Argentina, which has almost become synonymous with the varietal. It thrives in Mendoza's high-altitude vineyards, where cool nights and sunny days help develop its signature robust tannins and vivid flavour profiles.
  • Winemaking Techniques: Malbec grapes benefit from a range of winemaking practices, from aging in French and American oak to enhance their natural spicy notes to modern stainless-steel fermentation that preserves their bold fruit flavours.
  • Global Expressions: While Argentina leads in volume and recognition, regions like Cahors and even parts of the U.S., such as California and Washington State, are crafting notable Malbecs that showcase the grape's adaptability and range.
