After a rainy winter and a chilly spring, the good weather is here, and the desire to enjoy it intensifies.

We start craving outdoor plans, whether in the garden or on our home terrace.

Gathering with friends isn’t just about sitting down at the table—it’s also about the moments spent beforehand in the kitchen. And what could be better than cooking with a glass in hand?

While the chef handles the stove, the kitchen assistant takes charge of opening and pouring the wine—small rituals that deepen bonds between friends.

At Bodegas Enrique Mendoza, we’ve put together a selection of our freshest wines, perfect for the summer season.

Stay with us to discover how to be the best host for those summer evenings.

EM Chardonnay Joven:
Its fresh and fruity aromas will enhance the flavors of Mediterranean garden dishes—perfect for starting the meal with salads or escalivada.

For something as simple yet delightful as a good, ripe tomato sliced and dressed with salt and our Extra Virgin Olive Oil, this wine is the perfect pairing. Sometimes, simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

EM Chardonnay Fermentado:
Why not try making sushi at home?

Our barrel-fermented Chardonnay is an excellent match for fatty fish like tuna or salmon. Its structure and smoky notes beautifully complement this type of Asian cuisine, adding a unique twist to your summer table.

EM Rosado Monastrell:
Flavors of strawberry, cherry, and watermelon evoke the essence of summer, and this rosé truly embodies “summer in a bottle.”

For those eager to venture beyond the usual white wine selections, our Rosado Monastrell, crafted with native yeasts, offers an excellent alternative.

An Italian-themed evening is the perfect setting to uncork this wine. Pair it with homemade pizza or pasta for a delightful culinary experience.

EM Finca Xaconero:
Who says red wine isn’t for summer?

When the barbecue is fired up and friends gather around, this red wine is a must-have companion, making the heat from the coals more enjoyable.

For an even more refreshing experience, we recommend chilling it briefly in the fridge before serving.

Its balsamic notes, like rosemary and thyme, elevate the smoky aromas of grilled meats, creating a perfect harmony for summer barbecues.

EM Moscatel Marina:
The versatility of this cheerful and sweet wine, with its delightful floral notes, makes it an ideal choice for ending our gatherings on a delightful note.

Perfect for pairing with cheeses or desserts, and why not get creative? Add a splash of this liqueur wine to a seasonal fruit salad for a refreshing and flavorful twist.

Now, as a great host, it’s your turn to decide what to cook—we’ve got the wine covered!
