Product Notes

The Abel Mendoza 5 V Blanco Rioja is an elegant, well-made Spanish wine from a dedicated and innovative, family-run winery in Rioja. It’s a white blend of five varietals, hence the wine's name. This distinctive wine is vivacious and full-bodied, offering delightful aromas of white flowers, citrus fruits, and nuanced minerality. On the palate, it exhibits crisp acidity, displaying engaging flavours of ripe apple, pear, and subtle herby notes, finishing long and lush. This beautifully balanced wine complements meals impeccably. Truly a testament to the winery's meticulous viticulture and vinification procedures, presenting a characteristic expression of Rioja's terroir.

Tasting Notes

The nose is quite complex, with notes of smoke, yellow and white fruits, white flowers and balsamic aromas. The compact palate shows power as well as plenty of well-integrated oak.
