In our beginnings in Bodegas E. Mendoza, we bet on international varieties and the use of technology. Currently, our native varieties such as Monastrell, Garnacha and Moscatel Romano take center stage with the purchase of more hectares of these varieties.
The best wine is in the best vineyard (Enrique Mendoza)
To have wines with a global and international character, you must first be local, purist and very autochthonous. (Pepe Mendoza)
