Return Policy

To protect the provenance of delivered wines, exchange and returns are not allowed.

Corked Wines

While we make every attempt to provide wines of good quality and provenance, we cannot guarantee the personal 'drinkability' for every bottle we sell. It is the industry standard that older wines are purchased "as is" and at the buyer's risk as to the drinkability of the wine. This policy includes "corked" wines (those tainted with TCA and smell of wet cardboard). This wine fault occurred during the cork selection process and is completely out of our control. For the aforementioned reasons, no refund or exchange will be granted.

Rioja in Northern Spain is best known for berry-scented, barrel-aged red wines made from Tempranillo and Garnacha. It is arguably Spain's top wine region, and certainly the most famous.

The best Tempranillo plot from about 70 years old vines is selected each vintage to make Abel Mendoza Selección Personal. The first vintage of this wine was in 1998 and it was the first time using “Abel Mendoza” as a brand on the wines. To put his own name on the bottle was considered more serious and Abel wanted the wine to be the best representation of his name as possible. This impressive Tempranillo grapes comes from a tiny 2ha parcel.

Only 5,000 bottles are made for this label. 

Founded in 1988, this winery now owns 16 hectares of vines that are farmed organically near the town of San Vicente and the adjoining villages.

This small winery is owned by Abel Mendoza and Maite Fernández, a husband and wife team based in San Vicente de la Sonsierra. Their wines are among the most interesting, rare and sought-after in Rioja, in part due to their aversion to all things related to wine guides, events and media. For two generations Abel Mendoza's family has been farming vineyards in Rioja, and today works 37 individual parcel, scattered in and around the village of San Vicente de la Sonsierra (towards the border of Rioja Alta and Alavesa). Jarrarte was the initial brand, but it is now reserved for the young red wine. Other bottlings are sold under the Abel Mendoza name. Tempranillo forms the basis of most of Abel Mendoza's reds.
