"Honesty, landscape, and tradition: Pepe Mendoza's personal project that revives the pulse of the most authentic Mediterranean through old vineyards and minimal intervention."
Wines of Landscape, Craftsmanship, and Freedom
Pepe Mendoza Casa Agrícola represents the anticipated return to the viticultural roots of one of Spain's most charismatic and influential winemakers. Located in the Alicante regions of Alt Vinalopó and La Marina Alta, this artisanal winery operates under the rigorous parameters of the DOP Alicante, focusing exclusively on small, dry-farmed micro-plots worked using organic and conservation agriculture.
Casa Agrícola's philosophy rescues the true soul of the Mediterranean by avoiding over-extraction, excessive alcohol levels, and the invasive use of new oak. Pepe Mendoza's viticulture has been praised and highly valued by prestigious international publications like The Wine Advocate (Robert Parker), highlighting his extraordinary ability to bottle the salinity of the sea breeze, the aromas of pine and thyme from the low mountains, and the elegance of the Levante sun.

The Viticultural Jewels of Casa Agrícola
Monastrell & Giró: Untamed Typicity Reds
These are red wines that completely redefine the paradigm of the Spanish Levante. The indigenous Giró variety —cultivated in the terraced soils of the Marina Alta— contributes a nervous tension, fluid acidity, and notes of rosemary and rockrose that have captivated reference guides like the Guía Peñín for its tannic finesse. Meanwhile, old-vine Monastrell from centenary vines complements the blend by providing ripe black fruit, earthy touches, and an unforgettable velvety warmth.
Moscatel de Alejandría: Electrifying Dry Whites
Dry white wines born very close to the Mediterranean Sea, where the vine roots breathe sea breeze on calcareous tosca soils. Their aromatic profile dazzles with floral nuances of orange blossom, citrus peel, and an electrifying salinity that pays tribute to the millennial viticultural heritage supported by institutions such as the International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV).
El Abargues & Single Vineyard Wines
Hyper-limited edition labels from unique parcels. Aged in ancestral clay amphorae, used wooden foudres, and concrete tanks, these wines faithfully reflect the geology of the estate and are positioned as authentic collector's items.
Pairing and Serving Guidelines
The fluidity, versatility, and elegance of Pepe Mendoza's wines allow them to accompany a wide variety of gastronomic proposals, following recommendations from certified sommeliers by the Court of Master Sommeliers:
- Rice Dishes and Fish: Dry Moscatel de Alejandría is the ideal pairing for Levante rice dishes (like arroz a banda or seafood caldero) and grilled rock fish.
- Meats and Local Cuisine: Giró and Monastrell reds harmonize magnificently with traditional stews, grilled red meats, artisan cold cuts, and aged goat cheeses.
- Serving Temperature: It is advisable to serve whites between 9°C and 11°C, while reds display their best aromatic profile served slightly chilled, between 14°C and 16°C.
