Malbec

Malbec — Côt in French ampelography — is a red variety from south-western France; VIVC records its parents as Prunelard and Magdeleine Noire des Charentes. In our catalogue Armenian Malbec always comes paired with Areni: Armenia Wine uses the blend across its Orran, Papik and Art Armenia ranges, with fruit from Vayots Dzor and Aragatsotn, and Maran of Vayots Dzor makes Halde from Areni and Malbec and adds Khndoghni in Malahi Reserve.
