Pepe Mendoza Monastrell Blend 2022

Pepe Mendoza Monastrell Blend 2022 is a fresh, site driven red from Alicante, combining Monastrell with Giró and a touch of Garnacha Tintorera. Sourced from old bush vines and coastal parcels, it offers a lighter, more lifted take on this traditionally powerful style.

The nose is intensely Mediterranean, with red cherry and mulberry layered with rosemary, thyme and pine, alongside a subtle saline edge that brings brightness and detail.

On the palate, it is light to medium bodied with a flowing, almost weightless feel, supported by fine tannins and gentle acidity. Minimal oak keeps the focus on purity, with spice and herbal notes carrying through a clean, savoury finish.

A natural match for grilled vegetables, lamb or herb driven dishes, this is a nuanced and contemporary Monastrell blend built on freshness and balance.
