Description Malbec was made famous by Argentina, but Aussie drops are really impressive too. And of course France was the original home of this great grape. Taste top examples from all three countries here. The Parcela Selecta Malbec from Argentina's Uco Valley come from a top estate named as a 'New World Top 5' winery. John Quarisa’s full-flavoured Q Malbec, and the fabulous 5OS Project from the great Steve Grimley are Aussie drops that impress with their intensity barbecue. There’s a gorgeous French star too, in the lovely Maison Legrand Malbec, a delicious partner to a platter of charcuterie.
