Pepe Mendoza Pureza Ánfora 2022
Alicante, Valencia and Murcia, SpainPepe Mendoza is one of the most talented and recognized winemakers in Spain, starting in youth helping his father, the founder of the prestigious Grandes Pagos inducted Bodegas Enrique Mendoza in Alicante. After studies in Viticulture and Enology, and winemaking stints around the globe, Pepe returned home to Alicante and took over leading the family business. This Moscatel de Alejandria was planted in 1940, and named Pureza = Purity. It saw 25% skin contact for a few days before heading to amphora where it remained for 6 months. Incredibly fragrant, with rosewater, orange blossom, musk melon, and anise flooding the svelte, medium bodied, and subtle textured palate, dusted with perfumed spices on the finish. Though slight, this special little spice box makes a statement.Tasted: 06 July 2024Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $52.00 | 750ml | private wine stores |
