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.
