Characteristics of Malbec

Malbec is a thick-skinned red grape variety that produces wines with deep color, rich tannins, and excellent structure on the palate. Wines made from Malbec are characterized by aromas of dark fruits such as blackberry, black cherry, and blackcurrant, often accompanied by spicy and slightly smoky notes. As they age, they develop nuances of cocoa, leather, and tobacco, making this grape variety a remarkable wine for aging. Among the most renowned appellations, AOC Cahors is the one that best expresses the complexity of Malbec.

Why Choose a Malbec Wine?

Malbec stands out for its intensity and robustness, making it an excellent choice for pairing with hearty dishes or for aging in the cellar. Its pronounced tannins and aromatic richness make it the perfect companion for grilled red meats, saucy dishes, or even spicy meals. It pairs particularly well with duck breast, rack of lamb, or aged cheeses.
