Product Description
Details
To produce this sweet Spanish red wine, the Enrique Mendoza winery carries out a meticulous selection of the fruit.
Coming from the DO Alicante, the wine Dolç de Mendoza is made from naturally overripen grapes. They were not afected, however, by the so-called "noble rot".
Made solely from Monastrell, the grapes were destemmed and gently crushed, they were fermented in stainless steel tanks.
At a 17% alcohol level, fermentation stopped. The unfermented sugars of the grapes are responsible for the wine's naturally sweet flavour.
Then the wine Dolç de Mendoza 2019 was aged for 36 months in American oak barrels.
This sweet red wine from Alicante was not clarified or filtered prior to its bottling.

| Nose | This varietal Monastrell carries some deep aromas of black and red fruit and jammy wild berries, with remembrances of bitter chocolate, blue flowers, and dim notes of toast and spices over a balsamic and smokey background. |
| Palate | Lively and fresh, this wine of bodega Enrique Mendoza has a remarkable acidity prevents it from being oversweet. Delicious remembrances of toast, balsam, clove and cinnamon, combined with pure notes of red fruit and touches of cigars, leather and toast. Mild tannins and extremely long, smooth finish. |

This monastrell wine in incredibly delicious and fresh. As a cigar smoker, it is my faithful companion, together with a good Havanna and a good book, during those long, enjoyable winter evenings at the fireplace.
