Known worldwide for its exceptional Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon wines, Mendel winery is located in the heart of Argentina's Mendoza wine region and owns vineyards in Lujan de Cuyo and Altamira. The company is led by Anabelle Sielecki together with the famous winemaker Roberto de la Mota. The name of the company is a tribute from the owner to her father.

The Cabernet Sauvignon grapes come from the vineyards of Finca de los Andes located in Perdriel, in Luján de Cuyo, at an altitude of 1,050 meters above sea level. The vines, that are over 25 years old, are ungrafted. After fermentation, the finished wine is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels (one-third of which are new) and for a further 6 months in the bottle.

The wine has a deep and dense color with ruby-red tones. The nose reveals intense aromas of cassis, blueberries, and other forest berries, intertwined with notes of pepper, vanilla, and caramel. On the palate, it is concentrated and full, elegant and very balanced. It has lively acidity and soft, ripe tannins. It is round and lively and reveals a long and velvety finish. It is perfect with grilled meat, especially beef, but also with roasted mushrooms and some rich vegetarian recipes.
