World Malbec Day – 17th April

Beyond its early years as a key varietal in Bordeaux blends, Malbec has thrived as the darling red grape variety of the South Americas. The last decade has seen Malbec grow in popularity in both the on and off trade – +34% in volume vs the average over the last three years alone in the off trade and driving Argentinian wines to see the strongest recovery in volume and value, post COVID*. We’ve been working on our Malbec range the last couple of years, so World Malbec Day feels like as good an excuse as any to delve into a selection of our favourites…
