Bodega la Rural San Felipe Malbec Barrel selection from Mendoza Argentina. Malbec has become the most typical red grape from Argentina. This carmine red wine is characterized as a full round wine with intense aromas of both red and black fruit. The grapes were hand picked and then aged for 9 months in American and French barrels. The wine has a nice balance of ripe fruit and soft tannins. Pleasant, mouth-filling wine with a long finish. A success wine.

Malbec: mainly grown in Bordeaux and south-west France. Characteristic of the wines from this grape is the intense and earthy fruit in the scent, combined with a soft, also earthy and spicy taste. The malbec shows a strong tendency to coulure, which results in a small harvest. Also called cot. In the Cahors wine region and Saint Emilion Pressac becomes the grape auxerrois named The birthplace of Malbec, like many other grapes, is in France. Here the grape is also called cot. What many people do not know is that the Malbec grape plays a (small) role in the world-famous Bordeaux blend. The Malbec grape variety was popular in the Bordeaux region at the end of the 19th century. During this period the grape was used extensively, almost as standard, in the best Bordeaux wines. But the Malbec is a sensitive grape that likes a dry and warm climate. It does not tolerate mold and cold well and it needs a long season to ripen. That is why you saw it less and less in the Bordeaux blend, although it can still be used. The world-famous red Bordeaux blend is mainly cabernet sauvignon, merlot and cabernet franc with smaller portions of malbec and petit verdot. Because the grape is rich in tannins with low acidity, it contributes to the production of strong wines. Malbec is less common in Bordeaux, but is still very popular in the Cahors region. Here they also call the grape auxerrois or cot. There he delivers full, tannic wines.
