2022 Raul Pérez La Vizcaína La Poulosa

Raúl Pérez La Vizcaína La Poulosa 2022 is a characterful red from one of Spain’s most admired modern winemakers, offering a pure, site-driven expression of Castilla y León. Known for precision and finesse rather than power, it reflects Raúl Pérez’s signature style and his work with old-vine parcels in Bierzo.

Tasting Notes
The wine typically shows a vibrant ruby color with a translucent, elegant look rather than dense opacity. Aromatically, it leans toward red and dark berries, wild herbs, floral nuances, and a subtle earthy, smoky mineral edge. On the palate it is usually fresh and finely textured, with lively acidity, supple tannins, and a layered, savory finish that feels both energetic and refined. With its balance and detail, it should develop gracefully over the next several years, gaining more complexity and nuance with time.

Production
La Poulosa comes from a carefully selected vineyard parcel associated with the La Vizcaína project in Bierzo, an area in Castilla y León known for steep slopes, slate and clay soils, and old vines capable of producing wines of great detail. Raúl Pérez is known for sensitive vineyard work and minimal intervention in the cellar, often emphasizing hand harvesting, gentle extraction, and fermentation that preserves freshness and site expression. The result is a wine shaped more by terroir than by heavy winemaking.

Food & Serving
This is a versatile red for dishes with depth and savoriness, such as roast poultry, grilled lamb, mushroom dishes, charcuterie, or slow-cooked pork. Serve it slightly cool, ideally around 15–17°C, to highlight its freshness and aromatic lift. Decanting for 30–60 minutes is recommended, especially if the wine is enjoyed young, to help it open up fully.
