Mendel Unus Blend 2016
75cl
Mendel Unus is the perfect combination of Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec. The Cabernet Sauvignon, with its very present and mature tannins, forms part of the structure of the wine, while the Malbec collaborates by giving it complexity, body, and volume. The result is a very complex, intense wine, with a lot of flavour, but especially elegant and balanced.
