Wine: Malbec’s moment in the sun
Worldwide there are events taking place to celebrate Malbec’s current renaissance – from tasting dinners in London to Jamaica, to grape-crushing parties in New York, Toronto and Ottawa – and last year an English winery Chapel Down made the first English Malbec using Argentinian-grown grapes.
World Malbec Day gives me the chance to recommend a new book which has been hailed as a must-read for Malbec drinkers. The Vineyard at the End of the World: Maverick Winemakers and the Rebirth of Malbec (published by WW Norton, £10.99) charts the history, intrigue, science and a fair bit of gossip behind the rise of the Argentinian wine industry and Malbec winemakers.
