Mendel wines classically combine Roberto de la Mota’s prestigious winemaking skills and tremendously old vineyards to make Mendoza’s most elegant wines. Proprietor and long-time wine lover, Anabelle Sielecki, partnered with Roberto to transform her family’s historic 1928 vineyard into the respected estate it is today. She honors her father, a hardworking immigrant and successful businessman, by putting his first name, Mendel, on the label. 85 year-old vines aged in 1/3 new oak. An extremely complex example of Malbec that shows notes of dark chocolate, plummy fruit and cedar spice. Hand-harvested.
