Dolç de Mendoza is a unique natural sweet wine crafted from grapes sourced exclusively from our vineyards located at Finca El Chaconero in the picturesque area known as Cabezo de la Virgen, near Villena. Produced only in exceptional years, Dolç de Mendoza requires particularly healthy grapes that can endure prolonged ripening on the vine, allowing us to harvest them in the first week of December.

Once picked, the grapes are meticulously pressed and destemmed before being transferred to stainless steel tanks for fermentation. The natural yeasts convert the sugars into alcohol, achieving an impressive alcohol content of 15%. Thanks to the high alcohol levels, many yeasts die off, leaving behind a significant amount of unfermented sugar, which perfectly balances the wine’s sweetness and potency.

Following fermentation, the wine is aged in new American oak barrels to soften its tannins and impart nuanced toasted and smoky undertones that linger in the finish. It is bottled without cold stabilization or clarification, which means it may develop natural sediment over time.

In appearance, Dolç de Mendoza presents a deep cherry-red color with violet reflections, exhibiting high density in the glass. The nose is a fragrant bouquet of primary aromas featuring an abundance of red berries such as blackberries, blueberries, and strawberries, complemented by elegant hints of smoke and spices like cinnamon and clove.

On the palate, the wine offers a luscious texture with a high glycerin level and residual sugars that gently caress the mouth. This sweetness is beautifully balanced by soft tannins and refreshing acidity, which cleanse the palate. The long, lingering finish brings back the delicate smoky notes and toasted bread flavors that remain present for an extended period, making each sip a memorable experience.

Dolç de Mendoza is not just wine; it’s a celebration of the exceptional terroir and meticulous winemaking tradition of Enrique Mendoza. Enjoy it with rich desserts, cheeses, or simply on its own to savor its complex character. This wine is truly a treasure from Spain, perfect for those who appreciate the finer things in life.
