Gauchito Gil's Malbec Day Sydney 2019
Get acquainted with this Argentinian wine over empanadas and a bottomless glass of the stuff.
Overview
Gauchito Gil is Argentina's Robin Hood. As such, it seems fitting that Australia's own Malbec Day has been borrowed from the South American country, where the majority of the world's malbec comes from. If this day is a donation from the grape god, it's one we're happy to accept.
After a successful six years, Gauchito Gil is once again bringing Malbec Day to Sydney with a four-hour wine bonanza at Carriageworks on Sunday, April 14. The event comes from the organisers of the Pinot Palooza and Mould cheese festival, and mirrors the free-reign tasting set up. Your $60 ticket includes a wine glass, and from there you'll be able to move around, sampling over 60 Australian, French and Argentinian malbec varietals. Other events have been known to get a little boozy, so to soak up all that wine there will be top-notch empanadas from five local restaurateurs — who'll be vying for the prestigious Golden Empanada award.
It really doesn't matter if you know everything there is about malbec or if you don't know much at all, because Malbec Day is about education and celebration of the Argentine grape. And what better way to celebrate than with an bottomless glass of wine?
Gauchito Gil's Malbec Day has two sessions 11am–3pm and 4–8pm.
