Abel Mendoza Monge

Abel Mendoza Monge works in Rioja, Spain's most celebrated red wine region, where Tempranillo and its traditional partners form the backbone of elegant, age-worthy wines. The winery's portfolio reflects a commitment to the region's classic varieties: Sin Sulfuroso, a pure Tempranillo expression, stands at the apex of its releases. Grano a Grano Graciano showcases Graciano, the austere minority grape that adds structure and complexity to Rioja blends. A white wine, 5V Blanco, built from Garnacha Blanca, rounds out the range—a less common choice in a region defined by reds, yet one that speaks to the winery's willingness to explore Rioja's full palette. These wines have drawn assessment from major international critics including Decanter, Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, and Falstaff, indicating their standing within the broader conversation around contemporary Rioja.
