Description
The 2018 Abel Mendoza Selección Personal comes from Abel Mendoza’s family-owned vineyards in Rioja, spanning 37 individual parcels around San Vicente de la Sonsierra. Abel’s wines are crafted from indigenous varieties like Malvasia, Viura, Tempranillo Blanco, Tinto, and Graciano. His approach emphasizes the authentic expression of each vineyard site, with hand-harvested grapes and minimal intervention. Abel’s wines reflect the true character of their terroir, focusing on the quality of the fruit rather than oak influences.
