Description
PREPARATION
Grapes: 35% Monastrell, 35% Cabernet, 15% Merlot and 15% Shiraz.
The Enrique Mendoza Santa Rosa 2021 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, 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: Balanced, combining power and elegance with a firm tannic load in the center of the mouth, without concentrations or aggressiveness. The aftertaste is broad and harmonious, returning again the smoky and toasted notes acquired by its aging in the barrel.
Recommended temperature: 16ºC.
