Our committee's review
A free spirit and rebel, Raul Perez stands as a beacon for the young generation of Spanish winemakers. He does nothing conventionally, perhaps precisely to surpass conventional standards. He's chosen to follow nature, capturing only the best it offers, according to each vintage.
A true mentor, he also shines on his own vineyards. Close to his residence, in the village of Valtuille de Abajo in the Bierzo province, Raul Perez crafts a collection of wines sourced from very old vines.
Awarded a 97/100 by R. Parker, the 2021 Red Bierzo La Vitoriana hails from northern-facing terroirs, granting it exceptional freshness. The ever-vibrant mencia grape hints at dark fruits, spices, and violet to the nose, complemented by a smoky wood essence. On the palate, its harmony is evident, boasting elegant tannins and a smoky reminiscence from its aging process. In essence, this wine seamlessly marries robustness with masterful balance and a refreshing, lingering finish. Perfect to enjoy alongside grilled duck breast, a prime ribeye, or a well-aged butcher's cut. An astonishing find at such a price!
Raul Perez shines as Spain's top winemaker, boasting a 97/100 rating from R. Parker!
