Yes, malbec wine is naturally gluten-free.
Malbec is a dry, red wine that originated in the Bordeaux region of France. Malbec flourished in Argentina in the 1800s, where it could grow in high elevations without threat of fungal disease. Like other high altitude-wines, malbec has intense flavor and is often blended with other reds, such as in the Bordeaux blend.
Malbec wines have a deep red color and taste of dark fruits, such as blackberry and cherry, often with a smoky aftertaste. Its strong flavors pair well with savory foods, such as blue cheese, mushrooms, and red meat.
Malbec is planted on around 100,000 acres of land worldwide. Though malbec wines originally came from France, it is more often grown in Mendoza, Argentina: over 75% of malbec production is in Argentina.
Wine is naturally gluten-free, but wines with extra flavorings or additives may not be gluten-free. If you have celiac disease, stick to pure, undiluted wines. For more information on wine production, visit our main page Is Wine Gluten-Free?
