Wine Profile

Food Pairing Notes:

The pairing secret of Malbec is that it works well with pepper, sage, creamy mushroom sauces, melted cheese, and in particular, blue cheese. Whether indulging in the savory richness of grilled steak with chimichurri sauce, savoring the spiciness of chorizo tacos, or relishing the earthy notes in a mushroom risotto, Malbec effortlessly harmonizes with a diverse range of flavors. For a true Argentine experience, pair it with an asado or choose a classic like spaghetti Bolognese—the possibilities are as rich and nuanced as the wine itself. Cheers to a delightful culinary journey!

Tasting Notes:

Wines from this region in Argentina often display more of an herbaceous quality, which pairs nicely with the fragrance, aromas, and flavors of mint or other herbs like rosemary and lavender.
