Enrique Mendoza La Tremenda 2018 Monastrell is produced from grapes sourced from 26-year-old vines from a single vineyard. Excellent value under $17, the wine is dry, medium-bodied with ripe dark fruits, black cherry, red berry, mint and well-integrated toasty oak spice flavours fresh on the palate. The wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks and aged in French oak barrels for six months. Pour with meaty stews.

Monastrell food pairings: roast beef, chicken brochettes, pork chops smothered in wine sauce.
