Enrique Mendoza Santa Rosa 2017 Magnum 1.5L.
The Enrique Mendoza Santa Rosa 2017 red wine was created to pay tribute to Doña Rosa Cortés Devesa, founding mother of Bodegas Mendoza. The viticulture of the vineyard with which this red is made is carried out in a sustainable and respectful way. In the glass it is very expressive, with very mineral aromatic memories and a broad and harmonious palate. Luis Gutiérrez also says in his review that this is the first time in its 25 years of history that this wine changes; a golden opportunity to try a wine that stands out for its complexity and the large number of nuances it has. Enjoy it with cured cheeses, roasts, sausages, grilled red meats and grilled vegetables. Awards and recognitions:

Description
PREPARATION
Grapes: 35% Monastrell, 35% Cabernet, 15% Merlot and 15% Shiraz.
The Enrique Mendoza Santa Rosa 2016 red wine has been made with selected grapes from environmentally sustainable vineyards on the El Chaconero estate in Villena. The bunches were collected in different passes with the smallest berry diameter. It was vatted with whole grain and fermented with ambient yeast, seeking greater depth of wine, at 28°C. Small and frequent daily pumping overs were carried out and it had a post-fermentation maceration of 12 days. It was aged in the barrel room of Bodegas Mendoza in Alfaz del Pi for 16 months in new French Allier oak barrels.
TASTING
View: High layer wine. Intense ruby red color with brick highlights acquired during its aging.
Nose: Very mineral aroma, with hints of graphite, humus, black stones and freshly tilled earth, these mineral aromas are finely intertwined with spicy, balsamic and floral notes such as violet.
Mouth: Very balanced, with power and elegance, a firm tannic load in the center of the mouth, without concentrations or aggressiveness. The aftertaste is broad and harmonious, with smoked and toasted notes returning again.
Recommended temperature: 16ºC.
