Santa Rosa Reserva is one of the signature wines of Bodegas Enrique Mendoza, a winery associated with the production of quality wines from the Alicante D.O. Its name pays homage to Santa Rosa Cortés Devesa, mother of the winery’s founder. The 1998 vintage is a wine that has undergone extended aging, designed to combine structure, aromatic complexity, and the potential for further development. Made from a selection of grapes from the estate’s vineyards in Villena, it expresses a Mediterranean style characterized by ripe fruit, spices, and notes derived from its barrel aging.
