What Is Malbec Wine?

Do you want to experience a wine that’s full-bodied and not as well-known? You may be new to Malbec wine, but this red wine has a lot going on. So, this begs the following question: What is Malbec wine? Well, for starters, it’s the perfect option for a wine lover who enjoys an intensely flavored wine with lots of body. This wine’s grapes are dark and small and have incredibly thick skin. This type of grape produces a wine that’s bountiful in fruit flavors and has medium tannin levels.

The Malbec grape can be a bit finicky, making it challenging to grow, so vineyards grow them in smaller batches than other famous red wines. These particular grapes excel in sunny climates with cold evenings. You’ll find this grape growing in high elevation areas, such as the Mendoza region at the foothills of the Andes Mountains in Argentina.

When you think of Malbec, Argentina is the region that likely comes to mind. Many producers assumed Malbec grapes were only suitable for blending with other wines until Argentina began growing them in the 18th century.

What Color Is Malbec Wine?

Malbec wine is a deep red wine, featuring an almost purple color, but you may also come across it in the rosé variety. The rosé is fresh, crisp, and floral.

What Does Malbec Wine Taste Like?

The flavor profile for Malbec wine depends on which region the bottle is from. A few commonalities of these regions include:

Leather
Black pepper
Coffee

You’ll taste a jam-like quality in Malbec wines while also developing savory notes. Malbecs from the warm climates of South Africa, Australia, and Argentina exhibit dark fruit flavors, like plum and blackberry. Malbecs from cooler regions, like France, develop black cherry qualities with a hint of raspberry.

What Should I Pair Malbec Wine With?

The same as most red wines, Malbec pairs perfectly with red meat. Since its finish isn’t as long, it could overwhelm fattier meats, such as steak. Stick with leaner cuts of pork, beef, or even ostrich. Bleu cheese is another excellent example of a fantastic Melbac pairing for a vegetarian option; those who don’t eat meat can also pair Melbac with a couscous-stuffed red pepper.
