Enrique Mendoza Santa Rosa Reserva - Red Wine

Enrique Mendoza Santa Rosa Reserva - Red Wine is one of the flagship wines of Bodegas Enrique Mendoza, created as a tribute to the founder's mother. Produced in the Alicante region, it results from a careful blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Monastrell, and Syrah, uniting the profile of French grape varieties with the Mediterranean expression of Monastrell. The grapes come from Finca el Chaconero, in Villena, and the wine is made according to sustainable agricultural principles.

After fermentation and maceration for 12 days, it ages for 16 months in new French Allier oak barrels, which contributes to its depth and complexity. It presents an intense ruby-red color with brownish reflections and great concentration. On the nose, it reveals a mineral profile, with notes of red fruits, forest fruits and Monte Baixo, accompanied by hints of spices, chocolate, coffee and toasted caramel.

On the palate, it is very balanced, combining power and elegance with a firm tannic structure. The finish is broad and harmonious, with a return of smoky and toasted notes. It is recommended to serve it at 16ºC. It pairs particularly well with sausages, grilled red meats, roasts, and aged cheeses.
