Pepe Mendoza Mares de Luz Giro-Monastrell, Alicante 2024
Red Wine from Spain - Valencia & Levante
A special bottling for The Wine Society from Alicante’s most respected winemaker, Pepe Mendoza, and from the spectacular cool 2024 vintage, which brings natural freshness to the warm Mediterranean corner of Spain. The blend is led by giró, an old pre-phylloxera grape now on the brink of extinction, lending delicate rose florals and white-pepper spice, while the supporting monastrell provides depth, succulence and warm, savoury spice. There’s a hint of thyme and a touch of ripe, chalky tannin on the finish. Very balanced and polished.

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.

Mid ruby. Meaty, vital nose and firm but fruity palate. Well structured, with quite a bit of tannin still. JancisRobinson.com
