Pepe Mendoza Casa Agrícola Pureza 2022

Hidden gem in Valencia's wine scene, this tiny bar offers a unique and lively experience. The nose and flavor are similar to of elderflower, honeysuckle, and a nuanced whisper of grapefruit, evoking the refreshing and dry qualities of a Gewurtztraminer. A perfect pairing for Spanish seafood dishes, this wine is sure to delight.

Textured and fascinating wine with a unique blend of peach, rose petal, and eau de toilette notes, suggesting a Gewürztraminer origin. However, its lean profile and decent zest may indicate a higher altitude, possibly from Alto Adige. Despite this, the wine still exhibits a pronounced flavour intensity and a medium+ length finish.

Wine that embodies the quintessential characteristics of orange wine, with a nose that is both familiar and unremarkable, featuring undertones of orange rind, blood orange, and a note of cloves. The texture is similarly unassuming, with a lemony freshness that is tempered by a nuanced bitterness and a lingering aftertaste of stone and sulfur. The finale is disappointingly straightforward, lacking the richness and nuance that is typically found in orange wines.
