Red Wine from Spain - Valencia & Levante
A new-wave Spanish star turn in our 2026 Wine Champions. This comes from Pepe Mendoza, who’s a master at bringing freshness to his wines, while still expressing their generous, herbal Mediterranean character. ‘I don’t know if I’ve ever tasted a wine with so much blue fruit!’ exclaimed one taster. ‘Beautiful, and so full of life,’ said another.

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.
