2020, Unus

With their mature vineyards fed by meltwater from the Andes, family-owned Mendel Wines is a partnership between Roberto de la Mota – one of Argentina’s most respected and experienced winemakers - and the Sielecki family. At 1000 meters above sea level, the grapes ripen slowly, allowing the flavours to intensify. Following careful selection, hand harvesting and artisanal vinification, the character of the wines produced by Mendel is testament to their dedication to the craft

Dark intense red, purple at the rim.  Complex and multi-layered. Before being swirled, the wine exhibits fresh fruit notes like black cherries, plums, blackberries and cassis. Once swirled, it displays spices such as pink peppercorn, cedarwood, chocolate notes, vanilla and blond tobacco.  It is a harmonious and mouth-flling wine that feels meaty and unctuous, with refined and round tannins. The Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend contributes tannic structure and a spicy core while the Malbec offers unctuousness, roundness and fruit and the Petit Verdot, body and licorice. The aromatic complexity on the nose echoes on the palate and makes it incredibly long. The acidity in this elegant wine ensures freshness and great cellaring capacity.
