About this wine

El Mentridano Blanco 2023 comes from old, high-altitude vineyards with a mix of traditional white grapes, often co-planted among Garnacha. Fermented with native yeasts and matured in large, used oak, it aims for depth and salinity rather than showy aromatics. The wine shows subtle orchard and citrus fruit layered with fennel, almond and wet-stone notes, all carried by bright acidity. It’s a brilliant partner for shellfish, grilled fish and simply prepared vegetables.

Tasting Note

The Wine Advocate praises El Mentridano Blanco 2023 for its tension and complexity, with restrained white fruit, herbal and flinty characters and a long, saline, almost chalky finish.

In the glass

Pale straw with a slightly hazy, unfiltered look.

In the nose

Green apple, lemon peel, fennel frond and a strong crushed-stone, sea-spray character.

On the palate

Linear and salty, with taut citrus and orchard fruit, a touch of pithy phenolics and a long, mouth-watering mineral finish.

Vitícola Mentridana

Vitícola Mentridana is Daniel Landi’s project for old-vine Garnacha in and around El Real de San Vicente, in the Sierra de Gredos. Vines up to 70+ years old on granite and sand are farmed sustainably and vinified gently, often with whole clusters, in large foudres and concrete. Wines like Las Uvas de la Ira are lifted, savoury and finely tannic – a far cry from heavy Garnacha stereotypes.
