Mandó

Mando is a rare red grape variety native to the Alicante region of eastern Spain, where it has traditionally been grown alongside more common varieties such as Monastrell and Garnacha. Mando produces lighter-coloured red wines with soft tannins, gentle acidity and delicate red fruit flavours such as strawberry and red cherry, often accompanied by subtle floral and herbal notes. Its light, elegant style sets it apart from the bolder, more powerful reds typically associated with the Alicante region, and it has attracted growing interest from producers seeking to highlight Spain's lesser-known indigenous varieties. Mando is well suited to easy-drinking, food-friendly red wines and rose styles. It pairs well with light tapas, charcuterie, grilled vegetables and seafood.
