Dark Cherries, Floral Violets, and Old-Vine Mendoza Finesse

The 2024 Mendel Malbec is a wonderfully fresh, expressive, and silky red wine crafted by legendary winemaker Roberto de la Mota. Sourced from historic estate vines planted in 1928 in Mayor Drummond, Luján de Cuyo, it delivers enticing aromas of fresh dark cherries, mulberries, blue plums, dried violets, and subtle sweet baking spices. The palate is medium-to-full-bodied, juicy, and beautifully balanced, framed by fine, velvety tannins and a pristine, long finish.

Terroir, History & Acclaim

Critical Recognition:
James Suckling 93 pts
  • 93 Points - James Suckling: Really fresh yet deep nose of fine spices, violets, dark cherries, mulberries and fresh blue plums. Juicy and almost bright, with an evenly packed, medium-bodied palate. Tannins are very fine and silky but still quite fresh. Pristine and long, with no hard edges. Lots of drinkability. Drink or hold.
  • Historic 1928 Vineyard Terroir: Sourced from old estate vines planted in 1928 in Mayor Drummond, Luján de Cuyo. Situated at 3,115 feet above sea level, these nearly 100-year-old vines yield naturally low crop levels, producing grapes with incredible aromatic complexity, concentration, and structural elegance.
  • Artisanal Winemaking by Roberto de la Mota: Crafted under the guidance of Roberto de la Mota, one of Argentina's most revered winemaking legends. Aged for 12 months in fine French oak Taransaud Burgundy barrels to harmonize its vibrant fruit intensity without overpowering its natural floral perfume.

Tasting Notes

  • Nose: Fresh, perfumed, and deep. It opens with bright aromas of dark cherries, mulberries, and fresh blue plums, accompanied by fragrant dried violets, exotic spices, and sweet oak.
  • Palate: Dry, medium-to-full-bodied, and deliciously juicy. The entry brings a vibrant wave of dark berry fruit sap that glides across fine, silky tannins, concluding with pristine balance and a long, seamless finish.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve slightly cool at 15–17°C to highlight its bright fruit profile and floral aromatics.
  • Decanting: A short 20-to-30 minute decant or aeration helps unlock its intricate spice and fruit layers. Best enjoyed now through 2034+.
  • Western Pairing: Grilled ribeye or flank steak with chimichurri, roasted lamb chops, gourmet beef burgers, or empanadas.
  • Asian Pairing: Korean bulgogi, Taiwanese braised pork, Xinjiang cumin lamb skewers, or wok-fried black pepper beef.
