Mendel Selection Malbec 2018/20, Mendoza

Description

Mendel’s founder, Roberto de La Mota likes to joke that he was born in a winery. Before he studied winemaking, he took his first steps under the guidance of his father, renowned Malbec pioneer, Don Raúl de la Mota. And just like his father, Roberto has become one of Argentina’s most famed winemakers. Mendel is a celebration of Roberto’s deep-rooted winemaking heritage. He farms Malbec vines that date back as far as 1928. Along with these old vines and Lujan de Cuyo’s high-altitudes, he skilfully crafts this powerful, elegant and complex wine. Expect notes of red fruit, vanilla, and a touch of spice. Sublime with leg of lamb.
