Argentina is actually the worlds largest producer of Malbec (sometimes called Auxerrois) with 24,000 ha. But historically it is Cahors in south-western France that is considered the cradle of this variety. The two wine regions have joined together for an event to make this not-very-well-known grape variety better known: The International Malbec Days that take place in the city of Cahors on April 4-6. An excellent opportunity to taste many interesting wines from this unusual grape variety. Don’t miss it if you are near-by. The International Malbec Days french-malbec.com
