In stock
A high-quality Malbec from Argentina. Ripe fruit is delivered with real class and satisfaction in a food-friendly style. The vines here are old (about 90 years) and lie on elevated soils on their own original rootstocks. Carefully hand harvested and sorted, the fruit's savoury power of the comes mostly from the half that goes into new oak — while using of stainless steel for the rest allows them to preserve the expressive dark red fruit characters. Delicious!

What The Critics Say

91/100 Tim Atkin MW

"Lunta is Mendel’s entry-point wine, made with grapes from Mayor Drummond in Luján de Cuyo. Aged in stainless steel and 50% older oak barrels, it’s a supple, juicy style of Malbec that puts a smile on your lips. Textured and refreshing, it’s a great introduction to the joys of Mendoza Malbec."

90/100 JamesSuckling.com, Zekun Shuai

"Fruity nose exhibiting Damson plums and cherries with a touch of white pepper. Supple and round on the palate with a medium body and a creamy mouthfeel before a lightly peppery finish. Soft tannins. Drink now."
