Mendel has a vineyard planted in the Altamira zone in 1957, at an altitude of about 1,100 meters in what would be a traditional zone of Uco, one of the first planted there. And that's where this malbec comes from. It offers a very clear perspective of those stony soils covered in calcium carbonate, which lends a characteristic texture to this wine—that chalky sensation on the palate—accompanied by ripe red fruits and herbal notes. Another Mendel wine for the cellar.
