Malbec

What’s one of hottest wines on the planet at the moment? That would be Malbec. This flagship varietal from Argentina is very undervalued in the market today. One of the traditional grapes used in red Bordeaux blends, Malbec has characteristics that fall somewhere between Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. It has a deep colour almost like inky blueberry, softer tannin, and a particular blackberry/plum. mocha, spicy character. It’s reasonably priced and is generally not real long-lived, but it is extremely food-friendly. Check it out with beef; pork; grilled tuna, salmon or halibut; roast poultry or spicy Mexican dishes. Great with empanadas! Guaranteed to please, try it once and you’ll be hooked. Enjoy!
