This March, Norté invites guests on a journey to Argentina with the launch of Malbec Month, a month-long celebration of cuisine shaped by fire, land and tradition, paired with a wine culture renowned for depth, elegance and expression.
From 4th – 29th March, Malbec Month honours Argentina’s most iconic grape, pairing expressive, full-bodied Malbecs with dishes inspired by the country’s rich culinary heritage. Known for its deep colour, dark fruit intensity and supple tannins, Argentine Malbec thrives in the dramatic landscapes of Mendoza and beyond, where high-altitude vineyards and cool mountain nights create wines of power, balance and remarkable finesse.
The experience is elevated with an optional wine pairing, guiding diners through Argentina’s diverse wine regions, beginning with an aromatic Torrontés from the heights of Salta, moving to a vibrant Rosé de Malbec from the Uco Valley, and culminating in a classic Mendoza Malbec that has helped define Argentina on the world stage. Each pour is selected to highlight the interplay between fire-driven cuisine and the structure, texture and elegance of the wines, creating a journey that is both immersive and distinctly Argentine.
At the heart of the experience is Norté’s Mibrasa grill, where open fire and slow cooking techniques bring out rich, honest flavours. Charred, smoke-kissed meats and traditional accompaniments rooted in Argentine kitchens are crafted to complement the structure and intensity of Malbec, creating a dining experience that is both refined and deeply soulful, through a menu designed to showcase the natural harmony between bold, flame-driven cuisine and expressive, full-bodied wines.
