From the master, Raul Perez with fruit sourced from his family estate, the Joven (rabbit label) is predominately Mencia from 40-60 year old vines and aged in INOX.

Splash decanted directly before service; enjoyed over the course of a couple hours. The 2023 pours a deep purple color with an opaque core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of blackberries, Montmorency cherry, horse blanket, purple flowers, licorice, and crushed rock. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium. Charming, rustic stuff. Drink now through 2030. — 11 days ago

Field blend of 85% Mencia and rest other local varieties from 100+yo pre phylloxera vines. From the bearded Bierzo wizard Raoul Perez. Violets on the nose, and a fresh spicy pinot noir ish palate. — 10 months ago

My first wine from Niepoort/Perez from Bierzo , Godello at it’s best nose has a multi attitude to enjoy, taste is seduction of layers , finish a fresh experience of floor (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) this is elegant not like the rape on your tastebuds from Jura🇪🇸🥁 — 5 years ago

Raúl Perez is just a beast, this is again one of his family vineyard wines, it is a very elegant, burgundy sort of wine with a great fruity nose of cherries and raspberries with a nice wet stone undertone, taste very elegant and smooth with a great saltiness and a still strong acidity, little young and needs some air as well, beautiful wine if you like this elegant type of wines — 4 years ago
