Abel Mendoza Tempranillo Blanco es un vino que luce un color amarillento con reflejos verdosos. Muy complejo y fragante en nariz, despliega aromas a frutas tropicales junto a recuerdos de almendras frescas.
En boca es sabroso, sedoso, y profundo. De perfil balsámico con recuerdos florales, de aguacate y frutos secos.
Founded in 1988 by Abel Mendoza and his wife Maite Fernández, this Rioja winery, located on the left bank of the Ebro River and facing the Sierra Cantabria, began by marketing young wines made using the carbonic maceration technique under the Jarrarte brand. Their drive to develop more complex wines led them, a decade later, to focus on different vinifications from both white and red varieties, with the aim of creating wines with their own personality destined to endure over time.
The vineyards of Abel Mendoza are cultivated on rugged terrains with various compositions (clay-limestone, sandy, and stony soils) and are spread across 42 small plots that the winery harvests manually and works on throughout the year with the utmost respect for the environment.
