Lunta | Mendel Wines | Malbec | Mendoza | Argentina

Description This is a seriously good Mendoza Malbec from old vines planted in 1928. Hailing from vineyards facing the Lunta hills, it has been cultivated and grown using exactly the same techniques as the parcels used for Mendel’s top wines. It is aged for 6 months in used French oak which adds a light dusting of vanilla toast, but still allows the fruit and spice to sing. Dark, rich and intensely flavoured with hints of dark forest fruits, black cherry, spice and in harmony with the freshness and oak that wrap around the fruit. Layers of complex black fruits, coffee grains, spice and some integrated sweet oak. well defined, and elegant.
