In 1998, Anabelle Sielecki began updating everything that had to do with her family's winery except for its most valuable resource, the ridiculously old Lujan de Cuyo vineyards. She re-christened it with her father's first name: Mendel. Partnering with winemaker Roberto de la Mota, (Cheval des Andes), they produce a Malbec from 90 year old vines that ages for a year in French oak.
