What is Malbec?

Malbec is a purple grape variety, which is dark, inky in colour and is robust in tannins. The Malbec grape is thick-skinned and needs more sunlight and heat than either Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon. It ripens mid-season and brings very deep colour and a particular plum-like flavour to add complexity to claret blends.

Malbec is a medium to full-bodied, dry red wine with plenty of acidities and relatively high tannin and alcohol levels. Ripe flavours of plum, black cherry and blackberry can give this wine a decidedly jammy character.
