Malbec Wine

This robust, thick-skinned, sun-loving varietal has become hugely popular in the UK for the rich, luscious, darkly-fruited wines it produces. And as the majority of these reds are produced in Argentina (in its Mendoza region, more specifically), Malbec red wine has since become synonymous with the country's viniculture. These are deeply coloured, opulent, tannic reds, bursting with blackberry, plum, and blueberry flavours and usually accompanied by aromas of leather, smoke, and game. Thus its consummate popularity at the barbecue and in the steakhouse. Despite Argentina's dominance, however, Malbec red wine's original heartland is France, where these days its presence is rarely seen beyond Bordeaux and the Cahors appellation. Here, if not used as a blending agent, Malbec finds a fresher, more rustic, and less tannic expression, yet still producing full-bodied wines that pair quite deliciously with all manner of grilled red meats and charcuterie.

Malbec FAQs

Though Argentina has made Malbec its own, the grape’s original home lies in southwest France. French Malbec is fresher, more rustic and less tannic than its Argentine counterpart. It pairs beautifully with grilled red meats and charcuterie and is often blended with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. However, it shines just as well on its own.

At Mr Wheeler Wine, we source exceptional Argentine and French Malbec wines from Languedoc, Mendoza and Central Valley. Our experts are dedicated to ensuring only the best wines reach our shop, directly working with growers and nurturing our 130+ year relationships. After everything else, we are a family business that values our customers and your experience.

We hand-pick every bottle, meticulously checking, packing and dispatching for delivery. Get in touch with us to learn more about our Malbec wine, or visit our wine cellar to try it for yourself.

Is Malbec Red Wine?

Yes, Malbec is a full-bodied, Argentine red wine produced from blends of intense dark fruits, including blackberry, plum and black cherry. Its deep, inky colour perfectly complements its rich flavours, and develops smooth tannins and velvety texture. It is a firm favourite in the Mendoza region and is considered a signature grape. However, you can purchase white Malbecs, which are made of delicate florals and lighter fruits.
Is Malbec a Dry Wine?

Malbec is a dry wine. The more aged a bottle of Malbec, the less the sweeter flavours of its fruity profile manage to come through, and the drier it will become. Instead, it will adopt the smokier, more tobacco-like flavour profile that many older Malbecs are synonymous with.
How to Serve Malbec Wine?

Malbec wine, unlike other varietals, is best served slightly chilled. Placing your Malbec in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving helps to bring forward its fruity flavours. Serving in a standard wine glass will allow it to breathe sufficiently, releasing its natural aromas. Also, it pairs beautifully with red meats and mature cheeses, which complement the rich, complex flavour of the Malbec.
