Raul Perez

Raul Perez’s family has been in the Bierzo region for generations, with some of their vines dating back to the 1900s. His red blends consist of indigenous varietals to the region, primarily the Mencia grape. He also makes a few cult-status Albarinos in tiny proportions. Indulge in the highly-demanded wines from one of Spain’s finest!

“Raul Pérez is constantly issuing a stream of small-production wines, both reds and whites, from not just numerous single vineyards in Bierzo, but also from Ribeira Sacra and half a dozen other regions in Spain—and from Portugal's Douro zone as well. He's only 47 years old and he's already ‘fathered’ nearly 100 different wines over the years. Simply being Raúl Pérez is a full-time job. Making some of Spain's finest and most intriguing reds (and whites too) is just the byproduct.” -Matt Kramer
