The Enrique Mendoza Petit Verdot 2022 is a bold and exquisite bet on an international variety that has found an exceptional home in the soils of Alicante. This monovarietal wine, made 100% from Petit Verdot grapes from estate vineyards, benefits from a Mediterranean climate that enhances its character. After controlled fermentation, the wine matures for 12 months in French oak barrels, acquiring notable complexity. In the glass, it displays an intense robe and a deep, dark violet color. On the nose, it is powerful and spicy, with dominant aromas of blackberry, blueberry, and black plum, interwoven with notes of black pepper, licorice, violet, and a subtle hint of smoke. On the palate, it has a broad and powerful entry, with a formidable yet surprisingly polished structure. The tannins, present and firm, are fine and elegant. A vibrant acidity provides freshness and leads to a long, persistent, and spicy finish, with a mineral aftertaste.
