Malbec is a dark and aromatic grape that may now be best known for its big Argentinian wines, but originates in the Southwest of France where it is the grape behind the floral yet earthy Cahors \u2018black\u2019 wine.<\/span><\/p>\n

You may also see Malbec sold locally in this region of France as Cot or Auxerrois, but its Old-World wines range from dark heavy reds to the lighter cherry tones of the Loire. Used extensively in blends across France and the New World, it\u2019s Argentina where Malbec wears the crown. <\/span><\/p>\n

With the South American version, floral notes give way to dark plummy fruits with supple tannins. Over 80% of Mendoza\u2019s vineyards growing Malbec grapes, which can be a great place to make a start with Malbec.<\/span><\/p>\n
