FAQs about Malbec Wines
Q: Is Malbec a Sweet or Dry wines?
A: Malbec is classed as a dry wine, but its rich flavours of dark fruit and chocolate can give the impression of gentle sweetness.
Q: What foods go best with Malbec?
A: Malbec loves a bit of heat from the grill, think a juicy steak, roast lamb, or even a smoky barbecue. It’s also great with rich stews or a wedge of blue cheese, as the dark fruit and soft tannins round it all out nicely.
Q: Can Malbec be aged?
A: Most Malbecs are made for enjoying within a few years, but a well-made bottle, especially from Cahors or top Argentine vineyards, can happily rest for up to a decade, growing more velvety and complex over time.
