Fundación Marjal

On the 1st of June Club Marjal Exclusive organized a visit to Enrique Mendoza’s winery. During the trip we visited its facilities and learnt about the technology involved in wine making. In this winery, grapes are grown sustainably, without the use of herbicides and pesticides and with the most advanced vineyard control techniques. They manage their vineyards in the most ecological manner, using another plants like cinnamon against insects, and their own organic fertilizer. This way they grow grapes, organic grapes.

Afterwards we visited the elaboration and maturation area. We saw the different ways of maturation in casks, the recommended Wood for it , the differences between a cork and a plastic cork and the bottling area.

We ended the visit with a wine tasting session where we enjoyed their finest wines. We tasted 6 different wines together with some denomination of origin cheeses, and some of Valor’s craft chocolates.

Enrique Mendoza’s wines are elaborated using different grape varieties : chardonnay and Moscatel for the White wines; Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Petit Verdot, Shiraz and Monastrell for the red wines. In our visit we tried wines elaborated with Merlot- Monastrell, Shiraz, Cabernet-shiraz, Estrecho-monastrell, Chardonnay Mendoza’s sweet wine.

After this great introduction in the world of enology, we went to a local restaurant to have a paella and fried fish to end this gastronomical trip.
