Product Notes

Raúl Pérez El Rapolao La Vizcaina de Vinos is a Spanish wine from Bierzo region that exemplifies sophistication and elegance. Made from Mencia grapes, this red wine boasts a harmonious balance of red fruit and spice, backed by undertones of earthy minerality. Its vivid ruby hue woos the sight, while a delicate bouquet of ripe cherries and oak seduces the senses. On the palate, it reveals complex, layered flavours of dark berries and smoky hints. A delightfully fresh acidity complements its firm tannic structure, culminating in a lingering, velvety finish. This wine is a testament to Raúl Pérez's passion for winemaking perfection.
