Buy Malbec Wine Online

Malbec wine stands out from other wines because of its full-body taste, spicy and savoury flavours, as well as its deep-purple colour. They usually have a higher alcoholic content than a Pinot Noir or Merlot, even though they’re not as popular as the above-named wines. 

Malbec grapes are difficult to grow, so they’re only grown in small quantities, especially when compared to other more popular reds. They grow well in climes with sunny days and cold nights like the Mendoza wine region in Argentina and the Bordeaux in France.

The grapes are also very small, have thick skins, and a rich, dark colour that contributes to the wine’s fruity flavours and mid-high tannin levels.

Historically, in France, Malbec was mainly used as a blending grape with Gamay, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc to make Bordeaux blends. Then, the Argentines took it and made it into high-quality wine. Today, the grape covers more than 75% of all the vineyards in Argentina and is known as their most important grape.

The complex tasting notes of Malbec wine 

Argentine Malbec tastes quite different from its French counterpart. While the French bottle has a savoury and tart-like taste of cherry (sometimes, with hints of raspberries), a bottle of Argentine Malbec is soft in texture and tastes like plums or blackberries. 

However, both types of wines also share some similar tasting fruity and savoury notes. Some of these notes include black pepper, leather, and coffee. 

Although Malbecs have low acidity, they have a lot of structure and taste smooth and velvety on the tongue. Some people even call them the perfect pairing for red meat.

How to pair Malbec wine 

Malbec wines pair well with meaty foods, especially red or lean meat. Because they don’t have a very long finish, it can be easy for fatty meat to overwhelm their taste, so watch out for that. Turkey meat and lean beef cuts are great food pairings for this drop.

Vegetarians can pair Malbec wines with anything made with blue cheese while vegans should capitalise on the spicy taste notes by pairing them with capsicum, such as roasted red capsicum stuffed with couscous. Remember to add plenty of olive oil to your meal to even out the tannin.
