Mendel

2020 Semillon, Mendel

Mendoza, ArgentinaVintage: 2020

Mendel wines classically combine Roberto de la Mota’s prestigious winemaking skills and tremendously old vineyards to make Mendoza’s most elegant wines.   Proprietor and long-time wine lover, Anabelle Sielecki, partnered with Roberto to transform her family’s historic 1928 vineyard into the respected estate it is today.

In the glass this delicious Semillon displays elegant scents of acacia and white fruit like pear, pineapple and finally honey. The aromas contribute freshness and sweetness and make it an elegant and complex white wine.The palate displays a fine balance between freshness and aromatic complexity. Pleasant attack, unctuous on mid-palate. An elegant wine, with a velvety and lingering finish.

Notable Awards

91 points, Decanter Magazine, June 2021
“Grapes from a 70-year-old vineyard in Paraje Altamira, planted at 1,100m, and precise winemaking – 85% of the must is fermented in stainless steel and the rest is kept in new French oak for six months – give a wine with depth of flavour and aromatic complexity. Fragrant nose of lime, lemon, peach and green apple. The palate is crisp, fresh and focused: ripe lemon and grapefruit citrus, with a touch of flintiness.”

Description

Mendel wines classically combine Roberto de la Mota’s prestigious winemaking skills and tremendously old vineyards to make Mendoza’s most elegant wines. Proprietor and long-time wine lover, Anabelle Sielecki, partnered with Roberto to transform her family’s historic 1928 vineyard into the respected estate it is today.

Together, they choose the best blocks from their ancient vineyards, and every artisan winemaking step is rigorously performed. Extraordinary vineyards, passionate people, experience, and friendship are all blended to create these truly remarkable wines.

Mendel is the first name of Anabelle’s father, a man who came to Argentina with nothing and ended up a successful businessman in different industries. He was a man that loved the finest things that life had to offer, particularly wine. Anabelle proudly honors her father by seeking perfection in her and Roberto’s wines.

On arrival at the winery, grapes are cooled down to preserve aromas and flavours. Whole bunches are pressed very lightly in the pneumatic press.
Fermentation: 85% of the must is fermented in stainless steel tanks and the remaining 15% is kept in new French oak barrels for 6 months.  Bottled in November 2020.
