Is Malbec from Spain?

The first point of origin of Malbec is from France specifically the Bordeaux region and used primarily as a blending grape. Nevertheless, in Argentina it has become popular, specifically in the Mendoza region, which is successful due to the high altitude vineyards. Although Spain does grow Malbec, it is not as popular or well-known as in Argentina.
