The estate and the wine |
|

Brilliant oenologist and elected Best Winemaker in Argentina, Roberto de la Mota is the pioneer behind Cheval des Andes, the iconic cuvée of the LVMH group. Since 2003, he has been working as an artist at his own Mendel Wines estate in the heart of Mendoza.
In a preserved setting, with very old vines and organic practices, he crafts sumptuous wines, steering clear of any showy effects. Prioritizing the finesse and freshness that these dream terroirs can provide, he offers a renewed version of Argentine malbec; these are high-class wines that our expert sommeliers have long recognized… |
