Mendel Malbec 2020, Finca Mendel, Mendoza, Argentina

A proper Malbec! The flagship Malbec from Mendel offers everything you would hope for.
It's big and bold but retains it's freshness and elegance throughout.
Expressive notes of berries and herbs on the nose, a spicy back-taste and superbly integrated fruit throughout.

The 2020 vintage was atypical according to the wine maker - it was in the middle of the pandemic, had three weeks of extremely high temperatures and has delivered fresher wines with lots of tannins but not as powerful as they expected, probably because of the cool nights.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate said
92 points, It has 14.5% alcohol and a soft and round palate with integrated acidity ... fresh fruit, using the oak to keep that character, a balance between ripe and fresh fruit that is very interesting. It is juicy and primary with very fine tannins. A wine that overdelivers for the price

This wine is packed in cases of 6.

Alc. Vol 14.5%
