It is the most exported grape variety and it is the most valued too.

To celebrate the importance of this grape variety for the Argentine wine industry, Wines of Argentina started Malbec World Day —on 17th April — during which several wine events celebrating Malbec are celebrated simultaneously around the world. Where the events were perhaps lacking though, was in the home of Malbec — in Mendoza.
