Product Notes

Raúl Pérez La del Vivo La Vizcaina de Vinos is an exquisite Spanish wine, crafted by the esteemed winemaker Raúl Pérez. Made in the Bierzo region, this Bottled White Wine possesses the unique character of the Godello grape. It undergoes a gentle ageing process in old oak barrels, which imparts a refined structure. On the palate, this wine tantalisingly offers subtle notes of ripe apple, fennel and fine herbs, with a crisp minerality underlying its rich, creamy texture. It is a sophisticated and complex wine, which beautifully showcases Pérez's masterful touch with white Bierzo wines. Truly a delight for the experienced palate.

Tasting Notes

The 2019 is a bright, lifted and aromatic La del Vivo, riper and more expressive than the stricter 2018 but with more subtlety and floral nuance than the more exuberant 2017 and 2015 vintages. White honey, jasmine and clear green tea notes lend a heady and elegant feel to the wine, with depth supplied by a trace of pineapple, red apples and stone fruits on the finish. Blossomy but with a fresh stoniness and wispy smoke note too
