阿根廷現已成為世界上生産Malbec葡萄酒的表表者，在國內廣泛種植Malbec並將其打造成其旗艦葡萄品種。 然而，Malbec其實起源於法國並曾瘋魔當地，直至中世紀一場嚴重霜凍摧毀了大部分Malbec葡萄藤。Malbec於19 世紀中期才被引入到阿根廷，並在安地斯山脈(Andes)附近的Mendoza的高海拔葡萄園找到了一個新家園。
在這次品酒活動中，我們將透過品嚐四款罕有葡萄酒探索阿根廷Malbec的獨特之處。 我們將先品嚐 Bodega Aleanna Gran Enemigo Gualtallary Cabernet Franc 2012 (產量1,800支)，它由 85% 的Cabernet Franc和 15% 的Malbec混合而成，產自瓜爾塔拉里的白堊葡萄園。 然後我們將品嚐極度罕有而混合了75% 的Malbec和 25% 的Cabernet Franc的 PerSe La Craie 2015 (產量550支) 。
接著我們將嘗試一些 100% Malbec葡萄酒，首先是 Bodegas Catena Zapata Malbec Argentino 2012，它來自分別位於海拔1,450 米和 1,095 米的Adrianna和Nicasia葡萄園的老藤。 最後，我們將品嚐獲得 RP100 的 Zuccardi Finca Piedra Infinita 2016 ，這是一款評價很高的葡萄酒，體現了石灰岩土壤對Malbec的影響。
通過品嚐這些葡萄酒，我們將認識到風土、海拔和土壤類型等不同因素如何影響Malbec的風味和香氣 。

Argentina has become the world's leading producer of Malbec wines, with the grape now widely planted and serving as a flagship variety for the country. However, Malbec's origin lies in France and thrived there until a severe frost destroyed many Malbec vines during the Middle Ages. It wasn't until the mid-19th century that Malbec was introduced to Argentina, where it found a new home in the high-altitude vineyards of Mendoza near the Andes.
This tasting event will focus on the unique characteristics of Argentine Malbec through the lens of several rare and highly rated premium wines. We'll start by sampling the Bodega Aleanna Gran Enemigo Gualtallary Cabernet Franc 2012 (1,800 bottles produced), which is a blend of 85% Cabernet Franc and 15% Malbec sourced from a chalky vineyard in Gualtallary. We'll then move on to the super rare PerSe La Craie 2015 (only 550 bottles produced), a blend of 75% Malbec and 25% Cabernet Franc.
Next, we'll try some 100% Malbec wines, beginning with the Bodegas Catena Zapata Malbec Argentino 2012, which is sourced from old vines located at elevations of 1,450m and 1,095m in the Adrianna and Nicasia vineyards respectively. Finally, we'll conclude the evening with the RP100 Zuccardi Finca Piedra Infinita 2016, a highly rated wine that expresses the impact of limestone soils on Malbec.
Through tasting these wines, we'll explore how different factors such as terroir, altitude, and soil type can influence the flavor and aroma profile of Malbec.
