Malbec Food Pairing

Unlike Cab Sauv, Malbec doesn’t have a super long finish. Malbec is great with leaner red meats (ostrich anyone?). The wine does extremely well with flavors like blue cheese and rustic flavors like mushrooms and cumin spice.

Perfect Malbec Food Pairing

Black pepper buffalo burgers with blue cheese mushrooms and rosemary infused garlic kale chips.

Meat Pairings

Dark meat poultry and lean red meat. Malbec also pairs well with earthy flavors too, such as beef brisket. Duck, Chicken Leg, Lamb, Beef, Ostrich, Buffalo, Pork Shoulder
