Reviews and Ratings

Stephen Andrews reviewed this wine as follows:

Tasted July 24th 2017, colour medium plus ruby, good legs. Aromas and flavours of, blackberry, blackpepper, cocoa, sweet tobacco and roast meat. Taste, dry, fruity, medium plus mouthfeel, I drank this wine with a BBQ chicken, ok match the wine provided flavour to the meat. Good value. Easy to drink well made.
La Tremenda (2012) is single vineyard, medium-bodied red made with 100% Monastrell wine grapes. Enrique Mendoza is the producer of this Alicante wine region red and La Tremenda comes from a single vineyard planted 16 years ago at 600 metres above sea level The wine was fermented in stainless steel and aged in 500-litre oak vats for six months. - Community Wine Reviews
