About Pepe Mendoza Casa Agrícola Fierroca

In Pla Lliber, at the highest point of the Abargues estate (in the D.O. Alicante), Pepe Mendoza possesses a genuine treasure: iron-rich and rocky soils formed during the Triassic period. This quality elevates it to the Grand Cru category. Here is where Pepe Mendoza Casa Agrícola Fierroca is born, an exceptionally exclusive red wine that, according to Luis Gutiérrez (a critic for Robert Parker), ranks among the global elite.
 
With a limited production, Pepe Mendoza Casa Agrícola Fierroca has captivated both attention and palates towards this small corner of eastern Spain, where Pepe Mendoza has spent nearly a decade reviving the legacy left by both the Romans and the Arabs. This involves ecologically cultivating the old vineyard, over 75 years old, located on terraced slopes bordered by centuries-old stone walls, always dry-farmed. This meticulous work aims to maximize the results achieved thanks to the dry, hot summers and cold, rainy winters.
 
The optimal point of ripeness is a crucial aspect for Pepe Mendoza, so much so that if the grapes do not exhibit the desired profile that year, the harvest is reduced or discarded, with the fruits being used for other products. Thus, when the weather and conditions allow, Pepe Mendoza Casa Agrícola Fierroca is harvested and taken to the winery, which is built upon an old Riu-Rau of Arab origin. In this type of construction, typical of the Levante region and used for drying grapes, the rest of the production of Pepe Mendoza Casa Agrícola Fierroca will be carried out, focusing on minimal intervention and spontaneous fermentation. As a final touch, Pepe Mendoza Casa Agrícola Fierroca will undergo an aging process of less than a year in new French oak barrels from Allier.
 
Undoubtedly, the crowning jewel of Levante wines.
2021
The freshness that will make this vintage memorable is perfectly captured in Pepe Mendoza Casa Agrícola Fierroca 2021, a concentrated red wine ideal for enjoyment. With a cherry hue and a violet rim, it is distinguished by its aromas of red fruits such as cherry and raspberry, accompanied by notes of spices, toasted bread, violets, and wild herbs, adding a rustic touch. On the palate, it is a flavourful and lingering wine, with a substantial fruit presence and a balanced acidity that enhances its freshness.
