Summary
Malbec is one of the six grapes allowed in the blend of red Bordeaux wine.

A popular but unconfirmed theory claims that Malbec is named after a Hungarian peasant who first spread the grape variety throughout France.

This is a very popular variety in Argentina, where the grape has become a "national variety" of a sort that is uniquely identified with Argentine wine.
