Inky, velvety and full of dark fruit — Argentina's signature steak wine.
Born in south-west France, Malbec found its true home in Argentina, where high-altitude vineyards in Mendoza give intense colour, ripe plum and blackberry fruit and soft, velvety tannins. In Cahors it makes darker, more rustic and tannic wines.
