Mendoza 2020 Vintage Report
Mendoza 2020 stands as a monumental vintage defined by immense power and density. The season was driven by relentless sunshine (2415 hours), ensuring deep phenolic maturity without greenness, and significant overall dryness (173mm rain) restricted berry size, increasing skin-to-juice ratio and tannic structure.
