*Vintage may vary by location*

The aromas of sweet French oak and espresso get more complex with every swirl of the glass, unveiling black raspberry, blueberry, plums, cola, roasted coffee and caramel notes. Plenty of ripe tannins for structure, finishes complex.

Mendel Winery embodies the union of Roberto de la Mota - one of Argentina's most respected and experienced winemakers - with a nearly century-old Argentine family, whose sole objective is to produce wines of unquestionable quality that express the character of their old vineyards in Lujan de Cuyo, Mendoza, Argentina.

The 2021 Malbec is sourced from Lujan de Cuyo. Aged 12 months in French oak barrels, this purplish wine features plum and white pepper aromas alongside a layer of oak. Dry, rich and velvety, the balanced palate persists on the fruit tones with a faintly taut character. This is a delicate and tasteful Lujan Malbec.

Winemaker Roberto de la Mota sources grapes from vines planted in 1928 in Luján de Cuyo to make this enjoyable Malbec. More austere than the previous year, the 2021 vintage gained in freshness. Black pepper on the nose leads to a lively palate with gentle black-fruit flavors and fine tannins.
