Origin and history
Malbec wine, originally from France, found its true home in Argentina, particularly in Mendoza. This grape, once a minor player in Bordeaux blends, struggled in France due to its susceptibility to diseases and frost. However, when introduced to Argentina in the mid-19th century by French agronomist Michel Pouget, Malbec thrived in the sunny, dry climate of the Andes foothills. The high altitude and cool nights allowed Malbec grapes to develop rich, robust flavors, distinguishing Argentine Malbec on the global stage. Today, Malbec is celebrated for its deep color, intense fruity flavors, and velvety texture, making it a favorite among red wine enthusiasts.
