Pepe Mendoza Casa Agrícola Monastrell Giró, Alicante 2022
A vibrant and elegant new Monastrell-dominant red that epitomises all that is Mediterranean. Wild herbs, sun-dried tomato, and plummy, blackberry fruit sing from the glass. Using sustainable methods and much scrutiny in his vineyards, Pepe is a master at bringing freshness and balance to his wines.

Pepe Mendoza
Based in Alicante, Pepe Mendoza was born into Spanish-wine royalty (his father Enrique helms one of the most successful family wineries in the country) and crafts wines of purity, depth and elegance. His style is a rejection of the high-volume, low-character methods of the bigger conglomerates and the resultant high-alcohol blockbusters, instead focusing on a more terroir-focused approach. The results are very impressive. He works only with native grapes (monastrell, alicante bouschet, muscatel, macabeo and the very rare giro are all grown) and employs native yeasts for fermentation, and he takes a hands off approach to winemaking, intervening as little as possible in the process to create wines that very much speak of their origins.
