| | Malbec - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Long known as one of the five grapes used in the blending of red Bordeaux wine, it is increasingly celebrated as an Argentine varietal wine. | | | Malbec is a black, mellow grape variety originally grown in France, in the Loire Valley and Cahors. | | | Malbec is widely planted in Argentina producing a softer, less-tannic driven variety than the wines of Cahors. |

| | Malbec, the dominant grape grown in Argentina, has become its signature wine grape. | | | In Malbec's ancestral home in Bordeaux, however, the grape is a bit of a dud, producing thin wines with little character and less appeal. | | | Argentine Malbec grapes were small and intense, with a deep-purple color. |

| | The best the country has to offer is Malbec, a grape grown mostly in the high-altitude region of Mendoza. | | | In recent years it has become the flagship grape of the domestic wine industry, and Argentines down large quantities of the stuff in trendy restaurants around Buenos Aires. | | | Most of these improvements took place under the radar screen of the average American wine drinker, since the strong peso made it expensive for U.S. wine merchants to import large quantities of Argentine wine. |

| | Though Malbec began in Bordeaux (and found a niche in the “black wine of Cahors”-- immortalized as the wine of choice of a young Hemingway, down-and-out in Paris) it is in Mendoza that Malbec reaches its highest expression. | | | These old vineyards are naturally self-limiting in production, and at their best afford intensely black, highly concentrated, and luscious fruit that makes an amazingly sexy, sensuous wine. | | | No self-respecting Argentine would dream of sitting down to their national dish, an asado of grilled meats, without an accompanying bottle of Malbec. |
