The Mendel Finca Remota Malbec is an iconic expression of high-altitude Argentine wine, celebrated for its profound complexity and elegance. Sourced from a single, remote vineyard of old vines in the Uco Valley, this wine represents the pinnacle of Mendoza Malbec.
Mendel Wines is the prestigious project of revered winemaker Roberto de la Mota, who champions traditional methods to craft timeless expressions of Mendoza’s best terroirs. The winery is renowned for its focus on meticulously tended old vineyards, producing wines of exceptional balance, concentration, and aging potential. This commitment has positioned Mendel as a benchmark for classic, high-quality Argentinian wines.
In the glass, the wine displays a deep, intense violet-red color, signaling its concentration. The nose is a complex bouquet of ripe black fruits, violets, and graphite, with subtle hints of spice and dark chocolate from well-integrated oak. On the palate, the Mendel Finca Remota Malbec is full-bodied and powerful yet remarkably elegant, with fine-grained tannins, balanced acidity, and a long, mineral-driven finish.
For the best experience, serve this wine slightly chilled at around 16-18°C (60-65°F) after decanting for at least an hour. It is the perfect companion for grilled prime beef, roasted leg of lamb, or complex game dishes.
