Malbec Grape Skin Pack

[ajhughes]

I have some Malbec Juice i'll be starting in the next little bit and I was hoping to add a grape pack too it, but I can't seem to find a malbec grape pack anywhere.

Does anyone know where I might find some like what finevinewines sells?

Failing that, any opinions/advice as too whether using Cabernet Sauvignon skins would work well?

They don't make a Malbec grape pack add on. CC only makes/sells the Cab or the Syrah packs. Either would work but the Cab would probably be my first choice.

Get the Cab Skins. Like Mike said they only come in Cab and Syrah.
Syrah would be to "spicey" for the Melbec. Add it to the Primary.

Thanks for the responses guys. I just posted on the other similar thread... do you think a grape skin pack made of equal parts sangiovese, merlot and cab sauv might work well/better?

For a Malbec !!

Not sure why you would want to put an Italian varietal into an Argentinian grape juice?

What about raisins? If you are looking for body they worked very well in my Sangiovese

 

[ibglowin]

Yes, raisins work well in Italian varietals that's it IMHO.
