Lezi zinhlobonhlobo zazibonakala zivela eCahors, eFrance, futhi zazijwayele ukuba umvini ovame ukutshala lonke eningizimu-ntshonalanga yeFrance phakathi neMinyaka Ephakathi. Izindawo ezincane ngaphansi kwezinhlobonhlobo, noma kunjalo, zabhujiswa ngesikhathi sokuqubuka kwePhylloxera phakathi kuka-1875 kuya ku-1889, okwathi ngemva kwalokho imivini yatshintshwa nezinye izinhlobo ezazisondelene kangcono nomswakama waseMelika owawungeniswa ukuvikela imivini ngokumelene ne-phylloxera.
Indawo engaphansi kukaMalbec yahlushwa enye ngenkathi iqhwa ngo-1956, iningi labalimi, ngaphandle kweCahors, elibhekisela kwezinye izinhlobo zemfashini, njengeCabernet Sauvignon noMerlot. UMalbec wanikezwa impilo yesibili e-Argentina, lapho uDomingo Sarmiento, ngaleso sikhathi owayengumbusi waseMendoza futhi kamuva eba uMongameli wase-Argentina, waqasha i-agronomist yaseFrance, uMiguel Pouget ukungenisa izihlahla zevini ezivela eFrance. USarmiento wayefuna ukwakha imboni yewayini e-Argentina, eyayilungisiwe njengeziFulentshi.
I-cutbec yokuqala ye-Malbec yafika e-Argentina ngo-1852, emashumini ambalwa eminyaka ngaphambi kokuba kuqhume isifo se-phylloxera eFrance. I-clone ethize yokungenisa, ngokumangalisayo, isuke ishonele eFrance. Ngesikhathi amaFrance ehlukumeza ukukhiqiza uMalbec, umvini wathandwa yizimo zezulu ezifudumele I-Argentina yenza ukuba izwe libe umkhiqizi omkhulu wezinhlobonhlobo.
Ekuqaleni, ingxenye enkulu yewayini yayidliwe endaweni yangakini, kepha ngasekuqaleni kwawo-2000, izwe laqala ukungathí sina mayelana namazwe angaphandle kanye namasu okuthuthukisa nokuqinisekisa ikhwalithi yomkhiqizo othekelisiwe. UMalbec empeleni waba umvini obomvu wesignesha wase-Argentina.
I-Malbec isetshenziselwa ukudala ama-varietal single wine noma ukwengeza umbala kanye nezithelo zokuhlangana.
It is ikakhulukazi esetshenziswa Bordeaux isitayela ukuhlangana, kanye nezinhlobonhlobo, ezifana Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet franc noma Petit Verdot.
Izinhlobonhlobo zinamakha ama-berry amnandi, njenge-plums, ama-blackberries, umjunipha, ama-cherries neshokoledi elibabayo.
Kubonakala sengathi kuveza ama-flavour amaningi kakhulu ngaphansi kwezimo zokukhiqiza okungenasipiliyoni.
