Description
The winemaking philosophy at Abel Mendoza is to express the purity of the fruit and the high altitude terroir in which it grows. His wines are not overly oaked or extracted, instead they are understated and classy. The Jarrarte Blanco is an intriguing old vine blend of 33% Viura, 33% Tempranillo Blanco with the remainder being made up of Torrontes, Garnahca Blanca and Malvasia. All vineyard work is carried out organically and the harvest is manual, keeping the fruit in the best possible condition when it arrives in the winery.
The Jarrarte Blanco shows wonderful purity of fruit with a delicious lick of acidity running from start to finish. Stone fruit and floral characters mingle with a more herbal/fennel tinged palate that leads to a refined, fresh finish. Wonderful stuff.

Chenin Blanc
Produced from several vineyards with Silex (flint) soils, this delicious Vouvray is pale yellow with a very reserved nose. The palate is dominated by minerals, with citrus, apple and lemon peel fruit. Floral aromas balance out the minerality with some lovely balanced acidity coming through on the finish.

2023 Chardonnay, Hanewald-Schwerdt, Pfalz
Chardonnay
The Hanewald-Schwerdt Chardonnay reveals citrus & stone fruits with nuances of melons and herbs. Silky, lively with nice acidity.There is the merest whiff of old oak to this wine which is used purely to some softness to the mouthfeel. This is very appealing and an extremely enjoyable take on Chardonnay.
