2021 Mendel Malbec

Rich, Fresh, and Expressive Mendoza Malbec

The 2021 Mendel Malbec captures the essence of Mendoza’s high-altitude terroir. Expressive, balanced, and medium-bodied, it perfectly demonstrates the varietal’s classic aromas and fleshy texture.

Crafted from 100% Malbec from hand-selected grapes in Luján de Cuyo, this wine exhibits ripe fruit intensity with plums, raisins, and violet notes. Its body, fat, and mouthfeel are complemented by French oak ageing, creating a polished wine with excellent freshness, harmonious acidity, and long ageing potential.

Winemaking:

After manual berry selection, fermentation and maceration occur in 80-hectolitre tanks with gentle pigeage for 25 days. Malolactic fermentation and 12 months ageing in a combination of new and used French oak barrels refine texture and integrate aromas. The wine undergoes mild clarification and is bottled without filtration.

Pairing Suggestions:

Pairs well with grilled beef, roasted root vegetables, or hearty vegetarian casseroles, complementing its freshness and fruit intensity.

Tasting Note:

Bright red with violet edges, offering black cherry, raspberry, and subtle spice, finishing balanced, fresh, and lingering.
