Pepe Mendoza Casa Agrícola is the personal project of Pepe Mendoza, oenologist for 25 years at the Enrique Mendoza winery. Pepe cultivates several local grape varieties in vineyards covering just over 24 hectares in Alt Vinalopó and Marina Alta. Taking his inspiration from great wine producers such as Domaine Charvin in Châteauneuf du Pape, Pepe ensures the fruit is the main star in his winemaking processes. Casa Agrícola Tinto is the perfect example of this, offering a pure expression of the terroir.

About the vineyard[+]

The vineyards are worked using organic agricultural methods. The Monastrell and Giró goblet vines are dry-farmed, whereas the Alicante Bouschet plants are grown on trellises and watered a little. Giró vines are planted in iron-clay soils, and the Monastrell and Alicante Bouschet ones in sandy-loam soils.
