Sparkling · Light · Dry
Spain's traditional-method sparkling, made in Catalunya. Crisper and chalkier than Prosecco; remarkable value next to Champagne. Pair with jamón, tortilla, and grilled vegetables.
Why it works with Malbec Cabernet
Bubbles refresh any palate — the default sparkling backup for unfamiliar territory.
White · Medium · Dry
The most-planted white grape and the most chameleon-like. Crisp and steely from Chablis; rich, oaky, and tropical from California. Read the label, then match the style to the dish.
Why it works with Malbec Cabernet
An all-purpose white — body, fruit, and acid in balance for varied food.
Red · Full · Dry
Argentina's signature grape: deep purple, plummy, and remarkably smooth for its weight. Soft tannins and a touch of cocoa make it the dinner-party Cabernet alternative — and far easier on the wallet.
Why it works with Filet Mignon With A Malbec Demiglaze
Malbec, Of Course! gives Filet Mignon With A Malbec Demiglaze a savory partner — cherry, leather, and a touch of acid.
Red · Light · Dry
Burgundy's most temperamental grape, but the rewards are real — translucent ruby with a perfumed lift of red cherry, forest floor, and clove. Silken tannins and bright acid make it the most versatile red on the table; serve cool, around 58°F.
Why it works with Malbec Cabernet
A versatile light red — works across more dishes than any other red.
Rosé · Light · Dry
Provence's gift to summer — dry, pale, faintly strawberry-and-citrus, with low alcohol and crisp acid. Made to drink cold, with food, in the shade.
Why it works with Malbec Cabernet
Dry rosé is the most food-flexible bottle in the cellar.
Red · Full · Dry
Shiraz's more reserved European cousin — Northern Rhône style, all violets, black olive, and white pepper. Less brawn, more poise; pairs as well with lamb as with peppered duck breast.
Why it works with Malbec Braised Short Ribs And Puree Vegetables
Syrah's structured tannins frame Malbec Braised Short Ribs And Puree Vegetables; reach for this when the dish has weight to match.
