Merchant's description

Tasting notes Ripe fruit with hints of baking spice and fresh herbs. Approachable yet bursting with juicy fruit, chocolate, and spice. About the producer 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. abv: 14.5%
