Mendel Finca Remota 2011
Mendoza, ArgentinaNext door to Zuccardi’s Aluvional, the Mendel Finca Remota 2011 offers another look at Altamira, surely one of the finest pieces of terroir in all of Argentina. The 2011 was a little cooler than 2012 and the wine is a bit tighter. The vineyard is older, (thought to be planted in 1950) the alcohol is a little lower at 14.3% and it spends 18 in new French oak. Easily the most complex of the bunch No doubt one of the most important characteristics of Mendel La Remota is the intensity and complexity of the fruit. This is the sixth time La Mota has made the wine that is very classical in its manner. Like the Angelus it presents its old vines in the texture and viscosity that you don’t get in younger vines. It presents as a polished river stone not one you have just cracked open.Tasted: 23 July 2015Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| ON | $107.00 | 750ml | |
