Varietal: “Since its introduction to Argentina by the French agronomist Michel Pouget in 1868. Malbec has become the“ National variety. ”Today there are some 44,000 hectares of Malbec in Argentina, of which 35,000 hectares (87%) They are in Mendoza, where the Controlled Designation of Origin (DOC) of America is located, Malbec, Lujan de Cuyo; although the regions of La Rioja, Salta, San Juan, Catamarca, Jujuy, La Pampa, Neuquén, Río Negro and Buenos Aires. The bunches of Argentine Malbec grapes are different from the French ones. They have smaller fruits in smaller, tighter clusters. This suggests that the cuttings brought back by Pouget and the later French immigrants were a unique clone that may have become extinct in France due to frost and the phylloxera epidemic. Argentine malbec wine is characterized by its dark color and its intense and fruity flavors like plum, with a velvety texture. Although it does not have the tannic structure of a French Malbec and it has a softer texture. Argentine Malbec wines have shown potential for aging similar to French ones. The wines from the high altitudes of Mendoza have attracted many foreign experts, such as Paul Hobbs, Michel Rolland, Herve Joyaux-Fabre, Roberto Cipresso and Alberto Antonini, 19-20 and today, there are several Malbec wines from the region that have about 95 points in Wine Spectator and Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate. 30 31 32 33 Herve Joyaux-Favre has even said that “” the Malbec grapes in the area are the best in the world “”. “
Elaboration: “James Suckling mentions that the 39,488 hectares of Malbec planted in Argentina represent only 17.5% of the total production. And to his surprise, that represents more than half of all the Malbec produced in the world. Malbec is, without a doubt, the flagship grape of this region. The abundance of mature vineyards is one of the obvious reasons. Another reason is the creativity that Argentine producers display with such a versatile grape. The current trend is towards more delicate and easy to drink wines. Suckling frequently found aromas of lavender and violet in his Malbec tastings. The best exponents also had notes of licorice, mushrooms, spices, leather and stones, which gave them a very attractive complexity. “
