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.

The intense bouquet of flowers and lychee follow through to the generous palate that manages to be powerful and fruit-forward whilst retaining freshness and zip with long lasting acidity.

2019 Bordeaux Blanc Sec, Chateau Saransot-Dupre
Semillon/Sauvignon
Chateau Saransot-Dupre is a favourably sited 17 hectares property that lies between Fourcas Dupré and Fourcas Hosten in Listrac. Due to Listrac’s cooler temperatures, Merlot and Cabernet Franc are favoured over Cabernet Sauvignon to form the majority of the blend, helping them achieve optimum ripeness. Much like Chateau Fourcas Hosten, the wines have improved year on year since 2010 and the property were put on the radar thanks to a certain Robert Parker hailing the 2010 vintage as 'classed growth quality'. High praise indeed!
