Since 2011, World Malbec Day has been celebrated every April 17 and throughout the month, as a tribute to the birth of modern viticulture in Argentina. It’s a chance for Argentina and wine lovers everywhere to celebrate how Malbec became the country’s most iconic grape. Thanks to the passion and dedication of Argentine winemakers, the country now produces some of the finest Malbecs in the world.
Though Malbec originated in France—once used in 19th-century Bordeaux blends before it truly found its soul in Argentina. The grape was brought over in 1852 by Michel Pouget, a French agronomist invited to help grow the country’s young wine industry. April 17 marks the day in 1853 when President Domingo Faustino Sarmiento committed to developing Argentine winemaking laying the foundation for Malbec’s rise to global fame.
To celebrate World Malbec Day, we’ve curated a captivating trio that brings out the very best of Argentine winemaking!
