The two countries best known for Malbec are France (originating in Bordeaux) and Argentina. A few passionate producers in Australia also see great potential for this grape. Dark in colour, with a robust tannin, Malbec differs from region to region.
What is Malbec wine and what does it taste like?
If you're wondering what Malbec wine is, think of it as a plush, deeply coloured red that isn't afraid to flex its muscles. The signature malbec wine taste is an explosion of dark fruits like juicy plums and blackberries, usually backed up by sweet tobacco, dark chocolate, and a touch of oak spice. It has softer, more velvety tannins than a Cabernet Sauvignon, making it an incredibly smooth red wine to enjoy with every sip.
Where can I find a good Malbec wine from Argentina or Australia?
While Argentina is world-famous for making this variety an absolute superstar, local winemakers are doing a stellar job right here in our own backyard. For a classic, fruit-driven South American style, an affordable good Malbec wine like the Marraso Daily Malbec is a fantastic starting point. If you are looking for a premium bottle for a special dinner, the best Malbec wine options often come from high-altitude spots like Mendoza's Uco Valley, represented by legends like Zuccardi.
