The most important characteristics of Mendel La Remota is the intensity and complexity of the fruit without domination from the wood, despite having spent some time in new barrels. Only one explanation is possible: the unmatchable quality of the terroir and the old vineyards that give origin to this singular wine.

Tasting Notes

A glass-coating bright purple colour. High complexity and intensity on the nose. It is the expression of a Malbec from Altamira, characterized by notes like exotic spices, sandalwood, violets and lavender, fresh and ripe fruits – such as black cherries, plums and blueberries. After the fruits appear spices and notes from the oak such as vanilla, chocolate, caramel and blond tobacco. Also some black liquorice notes appear at the end giving more complexity to the whole.

Food Matches

Try this wonderful wine with 7 hour braised leg of lamb if you can wait that long to crack it open!

Press Comments

Decanter, September 2022, South American Old-Vine Reds: 93/100 points "Very attractive nose of crushed violets, smoky notes and graphite. A lovely, juicy cherry-plum burst on the mid palate. Rich texture yet with zippy freshness beneath." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, 2019: 95/100 points.
