ORIGINS

Winery: Enrique Mendoza

Region: Valencia

Valencia, a wine region stretching along Spain's eastern coast, boasts a long history of winemaking dating back to the Roman era. It's one of the country's largest wine producers, encompassing two distinct Denominaciones de Origen (DOs): Valencia DO and Utiel-Requena DO. The Valencia DO is known for its diverse offerings, including light and refreshing Cava sparkling wines and rich red wines. Utiel-Requena DO, located further inland with a more continental climate, excels in full-bodied red wines, particularly those made from Tempranillo and the local Bobal grape.
