HK$ 195.86
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2023 Blanco was produced with a blend of 40% Moscatel, 33% Macabeo, 20% Merseguera and 7% Viognier with a moderate 13% alcohol and good acidity. It has notes of chamomile, fennel and a citrus twist. It didn't go through malolactic and was bottled unoaked. This has a more reductive style and was just bottled when I tasted it, with notes of hay and straw in the background. The wine is clean, pure and fresh. He likes to bottle this style early, but it needs time to open up. 35,000 bottles. It was bottled in November 2023.

Description
Pepe Mendoza Casa Agrícola Blanco is a wine representation that combines the essence of two prominent terroirs of Alicante: the Vinalopó highlands and the Tierras Marinas. This white wine is composed of three main varieties: Moscatel ( 40%), Macabeo (40%) and Merseguera (20%). These varieties, especially Moscatel, give it a distinctive character and an unmistakable flavour that differentiates it from other vintages in which Airén was used instead of Merseguera.
Winemaking
As for its production and ageing, it stands out for its minimal intervention vinification, where each variety is vinified separately at its optimum point. After this process, the wine undergoes a brief ageing in stainless steel tanks. Before being marketed, the wine remains in the bottle for approximately 6 months, also undergoing a light filtration.
Taste
Pepe Mendoza Casa Agrícola Blanco has a light straw yellow colour, accompanied by a good tear. Its nose is of medium intensity, where light aromas of tropical fruits such as pineapple and grapefruit are perceived, complemented with notes of white flowers. On the palate, it has a sweet taste, highlighting that rich tropical fruit and that unmistakable hint of Muscatel that makes it addictive. It is complemented by notes of aniseed and a low acidity, making it a delicious wine, ideal to accompany any meal or even to be enjoyed on its own.
