Raúl Pérez Las Gundiñas La Vizcaina de Vinos is a captivating Spanish wine offering a delightful aromatic symphony. Its vibrant ruby hue is simply inviting, whilst the palate greets you with an eclectic mix of red fruits, floral notes, and a glimpse of minerality. The wine carries a meticulous balance of acidity and velvety tannins, ensuing into a profound finish. Harvested from old vines in Bierzo, Spain and aged gracefully, every sip of this wine is a testament to Raúl Pérez's innovative winemaking philosophy. An indulgence for any wine connoisseur.

Tasting Notes

Las Gundinas is without doubt the best vintage we have tasted to date. More ferrous and mineral this year, where normally it exudes more chocolate and earth, the 2018 has a certain transparency of red fruit that is very welcome and not dissimilar to Pinot Noir or perhaps Sangiovese (with less tannin). Almost elemental, with an earthy red fruit richness - strawberries, damson and redcurrants in particular, but a prominent dry irony spice and tobacco speaks to a high level of complexity and savouriness not often associated with this cuvee. Superb
