There are not that many varietal Petit Verdot in Spain, and the one from Enrique Mendoza must have been one of the first. I tasted the 2013 Petit Verdot, one of the few wines they could produce and bottle in that damned vintage because of the long cycle of the variety. In fact the Bordeaux grape ripened nicely, producing a wine with a notable absence of herbal aromas nor jammy notes. There are notes of raspberries and strawberries and moderate impact from the oak aging (15 months in barriques). The palate is juicy and with velvety tannins, with contained ripeness, a much fresher wine than the ones the address produced in the early 2000s. In any case Pepe Mendoza is thinking about making more estate blends and less varietal wines in the future. 25,000 bottles were filled in July 2015.
