Here are my final two Argentinean Malbec wines that I would like to present to you in preparation for Malbec World Day, April 17, 2025. The first wine is Doña Paula Estate High Altitude Malbec 2023 and the second wine is Luigi Bosca Wines’ Malbec 2022. You may remember that I wrote about the Luigi Bosca Wines’ La Linda Old…
Opposites attract, at times. Other times, it is great to enjoy their diversity. I’m taking the latter track in this tasting of a low-alcohol Australian Chardonnay and a fuller-bodied Malbec from Argentina. Some people are looking for low-alcohol, and lower calorie, wines, while others want to enjoy the full-body and richness of other wines. I have Yalumba’s Y Series Lighter…
I have two more Malbec wines from Argentina to tell you about in preparation for Malbec World Day on April 17, 2025. These two wines are both 2021 vintage, although one is listed as Reserva, it may have some additional claims to older vines or longer aging, while the other is noted as a single vineyard wine. The two wines…
Malbec is Argentina’s signature red grape. It’s different due to the high mountain (Andes) elevation of its vineyards, giving it lots of unfiltered sunshine that affects the grape skins (getting thicker) to produce a wine with deep colour and more fruit flavours. I picked these two bottles of Malbec today as they have screw cap closures. I think many of…
April 17, 2025 marks Malbec World Day, a celebration of this bold and expressive red wine that has captivated wine lovers worldwide. The date commemorates a key moment in Argentina’s wine history when efforts began to elevate the country’s viticulture. Over time, Malbec has flourished, producing wines with rich dark fruit flavours, velvety textures, and a signature hint of spice….
I have two more Argentinean Malbecs to tell you about in preparation for Malbec World Day on April 17. The first wine is Bodegas Santa Ana La Mascota Vineyards Malbec 2020 and the second is Trapiche Broquel Selected Barrels Malbec 2020. Both are from the same vintage. Do they show similar characteristics? I noticed that their Diam corks have the…
Here are two more Malbecs from Argentina that you may want to consider buying and opening on Malbec World Day, April 17, 2022. Since 2011 Malbec has been the most cultivated variety in Argentina, and the country has positioned itself as a leader in volume, quality and exports worldwide. One wine is from Finca Decero and the other from Escorihuela…
Malbec World Day is on April 17 and I have two Malbecs for you from Bodega Luigi Bosca in Argentina. Malbec is best known as the signature red grape of Argentina, although it originally comes from France, both in Bordeaux and in Cahors. Neither region in France was warm enough for this grape to ripen enough so was mostly dropped…
April 17 was World Malbec Day, and coincidentally a few days prior, I received a copy of “Malbec, A Tumultuous Wine Journey from Woe to WOW” by Vanda Jackson. Vanda, a Canadian from Nova Scotia, is a journalist by training and a lover of Malbec wine, in particular from Argentina. This love of Malbec guided her to writing this book…
