scores: Vivino 4.2/5
A small winery in San Vcente de la Sonsierra, at the foot of the mountain, with a total production per year of 150,000 bottles among all its wines, offers us this spectacular 2017 vintage reserve wine.
Very difficult wines to obtain due to their absolute scarcity, it is worth discovering them for their high quality
the winery For more than a century, generations of the Mendoza family made wine for family and friends, in a small century-old cave, located within the walls of the Castle of San Vicente de la Sonsierra.

The 17th century distillery
Eloy Antonio's original idea was to continue making wine in the castle cave, but due to its small size and inaccessibility, in 1994 he decided to restore an old 17th century distillery and condition it as a winery. Thus began the journey of Bodegas Castillo de Mendoza.

A NEW STAGE
the new cellar

The notable growth of the winery's activity means that in 2001 Castillo de Mendoza moved its facilities to a new construction in which an openwork excavated in solid rock in the traditional Rioja style coexists with current technology.

The winery has 35 hectares of its own vineyard spread over different plots in the municipal territory of San Vicente de la Sonsierra.

Ecological agriculture

It is one of the pioneering wineries in Organic Agriculture in La Rioja. In the year 2000 they planted their first organic vineyard in Alto de Mindiarte. A set of isolated vineyard plots surrounded by a natural wooded environment full of fauna and flora.

CASTLE OF MENDOZA RESERVE 2017
Made with the most select Tempranillo variety grapes from our oldest vineyards, harvested manually in small boxes and selected on a sorting table. Aged for 24 months in new French oak barrels.

CATA's notes

View: Ruby-cherry red color.

Smell: Dominant aromas of very ripe black and red fruits with notes of licorice, typical of the variety, perfectly harmonized with roasted and spicy tones of wood, where vanilla and cinnamon emerge.

Taste: Sensations in the mouth of great volume, structure and freshness with very sweet tannins and a very long and intense finish, again in the aromatic.

Recommendations:

Pairing: Perfect to accompany legumes, spicy dishes, red meat, game and cured cheeses.

Temperature: Consume at 16-18 ºC

Storage: Cool and dry place. avoid sunlight
