Drinking Window: 2023 - 2028
Pepe Mendoza's Alicante 'village' red is a Monastrell-led blend from different plots across the DO. Supple and very pure, with wild red fruits and a lovely touch of sappy grip and plum skin bite bringing a succulent, juicy quality. Typically keen and fresh but warm-hearted – compulsive drinking. Organic.
