Moruba has created the packaging for Abel Mendoza's 52-60 wine, a benchmark in La Rioja.
"We had heard the expression “interpreting the vineyard” a thousand times, and now, with Abel Mendoza’s 52–60 design, we have truly understood its meaning.” Moruba sources say.
In 52–60, Abel Mendoza and Maite Fernández They interpret several plots of land, almost 100 years old, in the Mondiate area of Labastida, La Rioja. Small vineyards where the ancient culture of cultivation, observation, and life merges with the reddish sandstone soils.
In another sign of inherited and preserved agricultural tradition, this vineyard is characterized by its diversity. Tempranillo, Graciano, red and white Garnacha, Viura, Malvasía… All the bunches are harvested together, separated berry by berry, and their grapes are vinified simultaneously. The land dictates the rules and limits production; in this first vintage, 2021, just under 1.400 bottles.
“The land and its winegrowers, united by a philosophy of respect and time. With these notes, something unique is composed, a story of the past and the present, a wine that is felt with the soul, the intellect, and the whole body.”
