Description
Mendel embodies the union of Roberto de La Mota, one of Argentina’s most respected and experienced winemakers, with a century-old Argentinian family to produce award-winning elegant wines from ancient estate vines and diverse soils. From 70+ year-old vineyards at the ‘Faraway Ranch’ in Altamira (Uco Valley), this dense Malbec is full-bodied with thick tannins.
Color: Intense, bright red, violet at the rim.-Nose: Complex, elegant and very intense. The wine shows a perfect combination of fresh red fruit such as black cherries, raspberries and blackberries. Spice touches and licorice hints contribute complexity. The ageing in French oak masterfully integrates subtle vanilla and caramel nuances. -Palate: Pleasant attack. The aromas on the palate are harmonious and persistent. It is a balanced, refreshing and very easy-to-drink wine which boasts a lingering nish.
Professional Review
VINOUS 93 POINTS – “The 2022 Malbec hails from Mayor Drummond and was aged for 12 months in 33% new French oak barrels. It shows reserved aromas of red fruit, plum and white pepper. Smooth, with delicate, gravelly tannins, plush texture and a lovely fruit flavor, this is a well-crafted Malbec, capturing the essence of Luján’s lower zone.” – Joaquin Hidalgo
