International Malbec Day
Malbec is the emblematic varietal of Argentina, due to the quality and quantity of wines that are produced with this strain in the country.
Although it has its origin in France, for several decades Argentina has been the main producer of Malbec globally.
International Malbec Day emerged from the growth and evolution of the varietal’s production. This was what prompted Wines of Argentina, an entity that promotes Argentine wine in the world, to establish a day in the year to celebrate Malbec and, along with it, also the success of the local wine industry.
The choice of the date is not coincidental. On April 17, but in 1853, a project was presented to found a farm and an agricultural school in Mendoza, the first step to promote wine development in the country.
