World-class Riojas – Abel Mendoza V Genérico 2018

Abel Mendoza, V Genérico 2018

RRP £31.17

Viura and Malvasía are the two dominant grapes in this blend, with Garnacha Blanca, Torrontés and Tempranillo Blanco, which is always one of Spain’s most complex whites. Combining intensity with freshness, lift and palate length, it’s a subtly wooded delight, with citrus, quince, tangerine and nectarine fruit.
