Mendel Malbec 2021

Country: Argentina
Region and Appellation: Mendoza

Experience the elegance of Mendel, a benchmark winery in Mendoza, Argentina, renowned for its expressive Malbec. Crafted by acclaimed winemaker Roberto de la Mota, the Mendel Malbec 2021 showcases the unique character of a cool vintage. Sourced primarily (at least 80%) from incredibly rare, own-rooted vines planted in 1928 within the esteemed Finca Drummond, Luján de Cuyo DOC, this wine gains complexity from younger vines in Altamira, Uco Valley. The cool 2021 season yielded vibrant, radiant fruit and exceptional freshness, even in Mendoza's warmer zones.

Expect an enticingly pretty nose of crushed raspberries, fresh blueberries, plums, subtle lavender, and honey. The palate is beautifully balanced – creamy and juicy with a full body, framed by refined, powdery tannins and energetic acidity. Flavors of gentle black fruits and black pepper lead to a long, pure finish marked by its lively fluidity. This sophisticated red wine offers both immediate drinking pleasure and cellar-worthy structure. Enjoy its vibrant expression of old-vine Malbec now or hold for further development. An exemplary Argentina red from a master winemaker.
