Raúl Pérez La Vitoriana La Vizcaina de Vinos wine is an enchanting Spanish offering, meticulously crafted in Bierzo. It brings together ripe red fruits and mineral elements, creating a delightful palate with balanced structure and soft tannins. This exceptional wine exhibits a bouquet of cherry, raspberry and subtle earthy tones. Floral undertones are discernible on the nose, adding complexity to the ensemble. The finessed subtlety of its freshness denotes remarkable maturity. It is certainly ideal for those seeking a wine that evolves interestingly over time, reflecting its terroir exquisitely in every sip.

Tasting Notes

Limpid ruby red, La Vitoriana 2018 exhibits layers of red, brambly fruits with a trace of licorice spice and cherry stones on the palate. Intense and long with an almost sherbet-like, mouthwatering acidity, but it's all so finely measured and detailed - a lacy power with finely etched tannins and concentration without weight. The palate is left awash with fruits of the forest and crisp, sweet berries. One would be hard pushed to find equivalent quality wines at this point.
