Argentinian Malbec is, without a doubt, a cornerstone for Canadian wine drinkers…Canada is Argentina’s 4th largest global export market! With Malbec World Day having recently passed on April 17th, Miroki and André are reminded about the quality that Argentine wines present for the dollar.
But there is so much more to the story of Argentine Malbec. It has a rich history from when the grapes first arrived in the 1850s, evolving over the years to embrace a large range of styles from fresh and unoaked to big and powerful. More importantly, there is a cultural and social philosophy to how Argentinian folk drink wine together, something that Liz Luzza gives us a glimpse of during our podcast interview in partnership with Wines of Argentina.
Whether you consider yourself a Malbec veteran, or someone who is newly curious, there is something to be learned in this lively conversation that bisects agricultural exploration of Argentina’s unique high-altitude terroir, winemaking innovation, the country’s dynamic cultural fabric, and food pairings, all with some live tasting notes of wines currently available at the LCBO.
