Malbec
Top countries producing this wine: |
Malbec is a full-bodied, fruit-filled, yet earthy dry red wine that has been produced in a few countries but has had the most success in Argentina. It is in Argentina’s climate with its warm, dry days and cool nights that Malbec absolutely shines as the rich, dark, velvety wine many have come to love. Its roots started in France where it is still allowed in Bordeaux (although it is rare), and originated in Cahors where the grape is called Auxerrois or Côt Noir locally. Malbec is a complex wine that has tasting notes that often include blackberry, dark cherry, plum, olive, and sometimes (due to a heavy amount of oak) mocha, vanilla, pepper, tobacco and even leather. Given Argentina’s strong association with cattle, it’s no wonder that Malbec is often paired with beef. But it doesn’t stop there, because the intense dark fruit and smoky spice flavors also make this an ideal pairing for BBQ, Stews, Sausage, mushroom dishes and chili. |

France is the world’s largest wine-producing country, and its rich winemaking history dates back at least to the 6th century BC, when Greek immigrants founded the colony of Massalia (present-day Marseille) and introduced viticulture to the area. That trade was later taken over by the Roman Empire, which planted vineyards throughout France. During the Middle Ages, monks were largely responsible for preserving the country’s winemaking tradition, and by the 1800s France was one of the world’s most prestigious producers. But the industry was ravaged by the phylloxera plague of the mid-19th century, an economic downturn and two World Wars. It was not until the 1970s that wines sales started to boom again and France once again became the international wine powerhouse we know today. Many of the grapes used in winemaking throughout the world originated in France, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Sparkling wine was invented in Champagne, one of the country’s iconic wine regions along with Bordeaux (home to Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc), Burgundy (Chardonnay and Pinot Noir), Alsace (Gewürztraminer and Riesling), the Loire Valley (Sauvignon Blanc and Chenin Blanc) and the Rhône (Syrah and Grenache). |
