Mendoza Malbec is so well received, that any other grape variety grown there is often disregarded as inferior. We believe this to be quite unfair, as Argentina has the ability to produce a wide selection of superb grape varietals. We think you should really give this delicious Argentinean Cabernet a go! Roberto de la Mota is one of Argentina’s most respected and admired winemakers. His long career in wine began when he was just 19, working with his renowned father Raul, who made wine at Bodega Weinert for 20 years (at the time Robert Parker declared that Weinert was making 'the most profound red wine in South America'). After studying Viticulture and Winemaking at the University of Montpellier Roberto made wine at Moet & Chandon’s Terrazas de los Andes, then created Cheval des Andes with Pierre Lurton of Chateau Cheval Blanc in 1999. He and business partner Annabelle Sielecki founded Mendel in 2003. Notes of cassis, red and black pepper, and spices. There are beautiful mineral notes and integrated oak characteristics such as vanilla, caramel, and smoke. The mature and soft tannins are round with a fresh acidity. Concentrated, balanced, and full-flavored.
