I will choose the best Malbec of these three: Trapiche, Latitud 33 and Chac Chac. 00:42 Video script. 01:10 The Origin of Malbec. Malbec is the most prominent grape variety in Argentina, being the most planted and having won over not only Brazilians, but the entire world, for its fruity character and velvety tannins. Perhaps, what you don't know is that Malbec is not an Argentine grape. In fact, it originates in the Southwest of France, in the Cahors Region. 02:33 Price and alcohol. In an internet search I found prices ranging from 40 to 60 reais. The cheapest was Latitude 33 and the most expensive was Las Perdices, so I am considering an average price of 50 reais. All are from the 2023 harvest and should be consumed between 16 and 17 °C. Trapiche has 12.5% ​​alcohol, Latitud 33 has 13.5% and Chac, 14%. 03:33 Used barrel. All have a short aging in wood. Due to the price of the wines, used barrels were certainly used, with the purpose of transferring few notes of wood to the wine and preserving the fruity character of the wine. Even the used barrel promotes micro-oxygenation that softens the tannins. 04:46 Barrel Time. The producer of Trapiche only states that the wine had a short aging in the barrel, but without specifying the period. Only half of the Latitud 33 wine was aged in French and American oak barrels for three to four months. Finally, Chac Chac was the one that spent the longest time in barrels, having aged for six months in oak (American and French, with light toast). 05:43 Trapiche. With 130 years of tradition, the Trapiche winery is located in Maipu (Mendoza, Argentina) and is present in more than 80 countries and is one of the largest exporters of Argentine wines. In 2019, it received the title of “New World Winery of the Year” by the prestigious Wine Enthusiast magazine; 06:32 Latitude 33. The Latitud 33º Malbec is produced in Mendoza by Bodega Chandon, at the foot of the Andes Mountains. Chandon Argentina was founded in 1956 and our wine was launched in 2002. Latitud 33º owes its name to the location of the vineyards at latitude 33 South. This latitude includes excellent vineyards spread throughout the southern hemisphere, in Chile, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. 07:32 Chac. Chac Chac is produced by the Las Perdices winery, also located at the foot of the Andes Mountains. The winery was founded in 1950, when Don Juan Muñoz Lopes, who left Spain and arrived in Argentina to fulfill his dream of working with his own vineyards. Always accompanied by partridge birds, he decided to pay homage to them in the name of the company, thus creating Las Perdices. “Chac Chac” refers to a cry or sound made by partridges when they are looking for a mate or defending their territory. 08:15 Tasting for Members. 08:32 The Best. Because it has a greater structure, for me, the best is Chac Chac. 10:14 Pairing This pairing tip is for the 3 Malbecs. We are looking at a simple Malbec, without long aging in wood, where the fruity character of the variety was preserved. It certainly goes well with barbecue in general, but mainly with Argentine cuts such as the roast strip, which is taken from the rib of the ox, across the bones; and also the ancho steak, which is taken from the front part of the sirloin, between the 2nd and 6th vertebrae, and has beautiful marbling. It also goes very well with artisanal hamburgers, that is, gourmet hamburgers, if grilled, even better. It also goes well with empanadas and Gouda and Emmenthal cheeses. 11:30 Cheers! -------------------- I am Mauricio Ferreira, a wine enthusiast, and my mission is to share knowledge about the world of wine in a simple and straightforward way, so that everyone can understand it.
