Mendel Unus 2020

Mendel Unus is the perfect combination of Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec alongside a small portion of Petit Verdot. The Cabernet Sauvignon, with its well present and ripe tannins, is part of the wine's structure, and the Malbec contributes by giving it complexity, unctuosity, and body. The resulting wine is very complex, intense, full-bodied, but especially elegant and balanced. Matured in French oak for 16 months and then a further 12 months in bottle prior to release  Unus is dark, intense red in colour. The nose is complex and multi-layered. Initially, the wine exhibits fresh fruit notes like black cherries, plums, blackberries and cassis developing aromas of spices such as pink peppercorn, cedarwood, chocolate scents, vanilla and blond tobacco. Unus is a harmonious and mouth filling wine which feels meaty and unctuous, with refined and rounded tannins. The Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend contributes tannic structure and a spicy core while the Malbec offers unctuousness, roundness and fruit whilst the Petit Verdot adds body and liquorice. The aromatic complexity on the nose echoes on the palate and makes it incredibly long. The acidity in this elegant wine ensures freshness and great cellaring capacity.

Vintage Availability

We endeavour to display accurate and current vintages on all our wines listed on the website; however, from time to time stocks of the vintage listed do become exhausted. If this is the case with your order we will always contact you to recommend another vintage of the same wine, if it is still available. If the vintage of a wine is important to you then please leave a note at checkout advising us of this. 

 

Stock Availability

As we are retail stockists, selling from our Ledston shop as well as online, it makes it difficult for us to show a 'real-time' inventory of our wines and spirits online. As such, very occasionally, a wine may be out of stock that the website has allowed you to order.

To ensure a timely delivery, we are happy to substitute your order with a similar wine of equal or higher value and at no additional cost to you!

If this is not an acceptable solution please advise us in the 'Add A Comment' section at the checkout.
