Wines of Argentina

Malbec’s complicity

Lauded by critics and wine lovers alike, Malbec flourishes in Argentina quite unlike anywhere else on the planet. And within Argentina it is Mendoza that must be considered the grapes spiritual home.

Here, in the prime regions of Lujan de Cuyo, Maipu and the Uco Valley (ranging from 600 to 1200 masl), Malbec’s unique characteristics are continuously crafted into rich and exuberant wines that display extraordinary depth of color and a luxurious velvety texture.

If its spiritual home is the soils of Mendoza, then Malbec certainly now has second homes on the wine lists of the world’s leading restaurants.

In Baltimore, highly acclaimed Chef Cindy Wolf has created a dish of Beef Tenderloin, Argentine Chimmichurri and Beef Empanada which reaches its maximum expression with Malbec’s freshness and intensity, and pays homage to this varietal and to its land of origin.

Cindy comments “The richness and delicacy of the beef is best balanced with a good Malbec. The garnishes of the dish lend corresponding accents to the layered flavors of these great wines”.
