Abel Mendoza Selección Personal 2021
HK$ 378.55
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2020 Selección Personal could come from a different vineyard each year, but in the last few years, it has always been produced from a place called Marrate-El Bardallo in Labastida, one of Mendoza's favorite places for high-end wines. The uncrushed grapes fermented with indigenous yeasts from a pied de cuve in stainless steel, followed by malolactic in concrete and aging in French oak barrels for one year. It's a serious and elegant Tempranillo with a textured palate and very fine and chalky tannins. It has contained ripeness and nice balance. 2020 was a more austere and less aromatic vintage for this wine. 5,154 bottles were filled in May 2022.

Description
Abel Mendoza Selección Personal comes from the organically farmed Marrate vineyard, located in the El Bardallo neighborhood between San Vicente de la Sonsierra and Labastida. The grapes are 70 year old Tempranillo vines grown on terraces in calcareous and stony soils.
Winemaking
The Abel Mendoza Selección Personal wine is harvested by hand, selecting the grapes berry by berry. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks and malolactic bacteria fermentation in concrete tanks. The wine ages in fresh French oak barrels for 13 months.
Taste
The palate shows great warmth, medium to full body and a certain austerity with a touch of wood.
The palate is dry and structured, with a pleasant sensation that covers the entire mouth with a balance of complicated, pleasant and fresh sensations.
Modern and fruity
Abel Mendoza Selección Personal is one of the winery's most recognizable wines and one that best represents the personality of Abel Mendoza. Modern in style, very fruity and with a magnificent freshness that slightly departs from the classic Rioja.
