Located in Argentina’s Mendoza wine region, Mendel was established by Anabelle Sielecki in collaboration with Roberto de la Mota, one of the country’s most renowned winemakers, named a "Winemaking Legend" by Tim Atkin in 2024. The estate owns historic Sielecki family vineyards, producing exceptional wines that include highly acclaimed Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon.
The Sémillon grapes come from the Paraje Altamira estate in La Consulta (San Carlos area), situated at an altitude of 1,100 meters above sea level. The own-rooted vines were planted in 1957 in alluvial soil that is sandy-loam and stony. Following hand-harvesting, fermentation takes place 85% in stainless steel and 15% in new French oak. The wine ages for 6 months prior to blending and bottling.
In the glass, the wine displays a pale straw-yellow hue with greenish highlights. Its aromatic profile is broad and fresh, featuring notes of pear and pineapple enriched by hints of acacia flowers and chamomile, along with touches of honey. On the palate, it is elegant and smooth, offering balanced fruit flavors and an oily texture. It possesses crisp acidity and a perfectly balanced, medium-long finish. It pairs beautifully with oysters, sushi, and seafood dishes.

I'm satisfied with my order and the products, but the shipping experience with UPS was awful. The delivery driver was rude and wanted to leave the package on the street instead of delivering it properly. Furthermore, when he eventually delivered the package, he handled it carelessly, despite the fact that it contained fragile items.
