The Malbec Blend grape is renowned for producing wines celebrated for their deep, lush qualities as well as their splendid consistency. Predominantly cultivated in Argentina, this grape variety displays its prowess in both standalone wines or when meticulously blended with other varieties.
Originally a native to South West France, Malbec has found its fame flourishing in the Argentinian terrain, which forms a perfect blend of climate and soil conditions for this grape to thrive in. When we think of this grape, one usually envisions red wines that are undeniably full-bodied, rich and robust, with dark, inky hues and vibrant red fruit flavours which age beautifully to reveal softer, complex secondary flavours reminiscent of both spicy and savoury nuances.
In a blend, Malbec can complement boldly tannic varieties by contributing its plush fruit flavours which round out the overall harmony of a wine. This is often observed when blended with the likes of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot in wines produced in Bordeaux. Meanwhile, in Argentina, it produces single-varietal wines which are intense, yet exquisitely soft and velvety in their texture.
Generally, a Malbec Blend tends to age well and can be relished after years of cellaring which heightens the intricacies of its flavour profile. From raspberry, plum, and blackberry up front, to a concluding symphony of leather, vanilla, and dark chocolate at the finish, a Malbec led blend can be an orchestra of sensory delight. The dram’s show-stealing depth of colour, coupled with a body that is astoundingly heavy, and laden with an assertive yet, harmonious tannin structure, makes the Malbec blend a delectable choice for those seeking a robust red wine.
