Malbec Grape Variety

The signature grape of Argentina.  Spicy and rich, robust and fruity.  Very different from the gamey Malbec of Cahors in France - in Argentina it makes gloriously velvety wines, high in alcohol and fruit extract, thriving particularly in Mendoza province.  A balance of red and black berry fruits, medium tannins and good acidity give the ageing potential for some long-lived classic red wines.
