MALBEC

What Type of Wine is a Malbec?

Malbec is a full-bodied red wine that is rich in flavour. First produced in France, the purple Malbec grape is now best associated with Argentina where it’s hugely popular. Deep purple with a fruity, blackberry flavour, Malbec is known for its notes of vanilla, dark chocolate, oak, and tobacco. Generally, the ABV of Malbec wine ranges between 13%-15%. Due to the strong concentration of resveratrol in the Malbec grape, drinking this wine may help lower the risk of heart disease and prevent cell damage. Cheers to that!
