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: 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.
