PEPE MENDOZA | THE VENOM 2021 75cl

El Veneno 2021 is a dry red wine produced by Pepe Mendoza Casa Agrícola in the D.O.P. Alicante, Spain. It comes from Monastrell vineyards in Alto Vinalopó, where clay and sandy soils and the Mediterranean climate provide freshness and concentration to the wine.

The harvest is done manually, with a careful selection of clusters. The grapes ferment with native yeasts, followed by aging in French oak barrels, allowing the wine to develop its characteristic complexity and elegance.
