The Wine The Wine
Spain
Region:Rioja
Modest yet passionate about his wines, Abel Mendoza has been making understated wines from old vine vineyards since the late 80s. This white Rioja, bursting with creamy notes of peach, flowers, lemon zest and a touch of minerality, truly exemplifies the passion and attention to detail he puts into every one of his wines. The Spanish blend of Viura and Malvasia, with a proportion of Torrontes, Tempranillo Blanco and Garnacha Blanca showcases the pure style that can be achieved in this wild, elevated part of Rioja.
The Winemaker The Winemaker
Abel Mendoza
Modest and passionate about his vineyards, Abel Mendoza and his wife Maite Fernández have been making understated wines in San Vicente de la Sonsierra (which is situated towards the border of Rioja Alta and Alavesa) since 1988. Each plot is cared for independently and harvested entirely by hand. The grapes planted are all indigenous including Malvasia, Viura, Tempranillo, Graciano and Garnacha Blanco. His wines could be described as modern in style as he only uses French oak and ages the wines for shorter periods than is traditional in Rioja. This is so he can express the fruit and the soil - he does not want to stamp the wines with any particular style or mark of his own other than his respect for the very natural quality of the grapes and for the magical places that they were grown.
"Grapes are sourced from Abel's old vineyards situated on the rugged terrain on the edge of the Ebro valley, on soils composed of clay, marl, and fine sandstones. Served with simple grilled fish, shellfish, garlic prawns and grilled squid." - Abel Mendoza, Winemaker.
