What it is
Malbec: the French grape that became Argentina's flag — black, plush wines from Mendoza's high desert vineyards at the foot of the Andes. Origins: Malbec (Côt) came from Cahors, France, in 1853 with Michel Pouget; phylloxera killed it in France while Mendoza's altitude made it immortal. Made from: Malbec grapes grown at 800-1,500 metres, where sun and cold nights build colour and freshness. How it's made: 1) Harvest by hand in the high valleys (Uco, Luján). 2) Ferment; age in French oak for the reservas. 3) Blend by altitude. Served: at 16-18°C with asado — the pairing is the national ritual. Flavor: black plum, violet, cocoa, sweet tannins. Strength: 13.5-15%. Culture: April 17 is World Malbec Day, celebrating the grape's Argentine resurrection. See also: Fernet con Coca, Clericó.
