Product Description
Discover Mendel Finca Remota 2021, an exceptional Malbec from Mendoza, Argentina, showcasing the pinnacle of old-vine terroir. Sourced exclusively from Mendel’s historic Finca Remota vineyard in Altamira (Uco Valley), planted in 1957 at 1,100 meters elevation, this red wine captures the essence of one of Uco’s pioneering sites. The calcium carbonate-rich, stony soils imbue the wine with a distinctive chalky texture and profound minerality.
Winemaker Roberto de la Mota crafts a wine of remarkable depth and structure. The 2021 vintage reveals layered aromas of blackberries, graphite, black pepper, and restrained cocoa powder, leading to a broad, concentrated palate. Polished, powdery tannins frame flavors of ripe red fruits and herbal nuances, culminating in a finish of extraordinary complexity that lingers for nearly a minute.
Balancing power with finesse, this age-worthy Malbec exemplifies Mendel's dedication to expressing Argentina’s high-altitude terroir. Enjoy its plush intensity now or cellar for added sophistication. A benchmark red wine for collectors and connoisseurs seeking terroir-driven excellence from Mendoza.
