The Enrique Mendoza Estrecho 2017 wine is an authentic expression of the D.O. Alicante, made from 100% Monastrell grapes. This red wine comes from a single estate, known as "Estrecho de Pipa," located 700 meters above sea level in Villena. The soil in this region consists of fine sands that are low in organic matter, promoting balanced plant growth and allowing it to reach its polyphenolic maturity without stress. Its ruby red color with garnet reflections is visually appealing. On the nose, it offers an intense presence of ripe fruits, perfectly integrated with wood notes, without the latter overshadowing the fruity aromas. On the palate, it presents a fine attack, with sweet and granular tannins, alongside a fresh and acidic balance that enhances its character. The alcohol content feels long and smooth, promising good aging potential for this wine. Perfect to enjoy on special occasions or paired with grilled meats or aged cheeses.
