Malbec is a purple grape variety known for making inky dark wines with substantial tannins. It is one of the six cultivars allowed in a Bordeaux blend and was made famous in Argentina. On Mischa, we have a very small planting of Malbec, so the production of this awesome wine is extremely limited. The Malbec is the smallest part of Mischa Estate’s production, but it is certainly one of the most unique and special wines we have to offer.
