2019 Pepe Mendoza Giró-Gironet 6 Meses Ánfora Velo Flor, Alicante

( €24, 13.5%, Available from the winery )

This is a small production red from Pepe Mendoza, fermented and aged in amphoras and made with a combination of the rare Giró grape and Garnacha (Gironet). Lightly oxidative in style, it has raspberry and pomegranate flavours, sinewy tannins and undertones of wild Mediterranean herbs. The acidity of both varieties freshens and lengthens the finish.
