Grenache
Velvet 2025
Mendall

Grape Variety: Garnacha Peluda (Hairy Grenache)

Producer: Mendall (Laureano Serres & Alicia Serres)

Region: Terra Alta, Tarragona, Catalunya, Spain

Vegan friendly wine

Wild Scale: 5/5

14% alcohol

Winemaking: Organic Grenache grapes were harvested by hand and pressed direct. Fermentation with indigenous yeast in amphora vessels where the wine also aged. Bottled with no fining, filtration or added sulphur. 

This Wine: Natural rosé wine with a medium body. This is the first time Mendall has released a 'rosat' style and we love it! Red apple skin, citrus and raspberries with an almost candy-like finish. Great to pair with salty, Catalan dishes. Wild but balanced.

Notes on the Winemaker: Laureano Serres is a legendary Catalan winemaker based in the region of Tarragona, south of Barcelona. This is a dry and rugged region where he made a name for himself by producing rustic and honest wines under the Mendall name since 1999. The elevation in Terra Alta brings freshness and acidity to the wines and there is usually a sense of wildness to each bottle that reflects the terroir here perfectly. Laureano is also credited with being a founding member of the Brutal movement as well as starting the annual wine fair H2O Vegetal in Barcelona. He is now passing on his knowledge and experience to his daughter Alicia.
