Casa Agricola Pepe Mendoza Pureza 2018

Grapes are sourced from two vineyards called El Veneno and Los Burros located inland in Alto Vinalopó. Lovely fine, fragrant nose with ripe red fruit, plums and Monastrell’s trademark punch on the background. This is lighter than the standard from the area, yet there’s a real fruit explosion on the palate (blackberries, plums). An aromatic Mediterranean red that manages to avoid any traces of heaviness and warmth. 

Very typical and classic orange wine nose with orange rind, blood orange, a bit of sulfur and a hint of cloves. Lemon mouth with a bit of grapefruit, stone, sulfur, tad of salt. But too normal wine for an orange wine.
