World Malbec Day on April 17 is usually the perfect time to check out a grape variety enjoyed by many wine consumers.
However, some Argentinian producers are questioning whether it is right to continue to focus on this variety almost to the exclusion of others. I think that the lovely wines Malbec makes are worthy of celebration whilst trying Argentinian wines made from Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon etc.
Argentina’s wine makers can be justly proud of their wine especially Malbec and it has gained a reputation for the diversity of styles, quality and instantly recognisable juicy fruit notes that respond well to careful oak aging producing finer wines that have aging potential with many layers of flavour.
