It’s a versatile wine that goes well with a variety of dishes, such as lean red meat, charcuterie and cheeses such as Gouda or Manchego. Tasting notes can include dark fruits, coffee, leather and even black pepper. It is well-known for its fruity, sweet jam-like taste. Malbec wine is high in alcohol, around the same amount as Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon. Although saying this, these grapes express terroir well, which is why a wine made i n France tastes entirely different to that of one made in Argentina, for example. Malbec grapes are dark in colour, and need lots of sunshine and a dry climate in order to thrive. You may also enjoy our range of other wines including Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

Because of its difficulty to grow, these grapes are grown in much smaller quantities than other red wines. In many of its traditional growing regions, it isn’t grown on trellises but rather is cultivated in bushes, otherwise known as the goblet system. Unlike Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, the grapes need lots of sun and heat to mature. This delightful red wine is beautiful on its own, and is also commonly used in blends.
