How Malbec went to Argentina

Tuesday, January 22. 2008
In 1868, Professor Pouget introduced Malbec cuttings from Bordeaux to Argentina as well as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. In the warm and dry climate of South America, Malbec thrived.
Over the years, Malbec was planted on 150,000 acres. In the 1980's, the Argentinians pulled out so much vines that only 10,000 acres of Malbec was left. It is now back to 60,241 acres producing a rich and complex wine.
