New Wave Spanish Winemaking
Raul Perez is one of Spain’s most revered winemakers, credited with breathing new life into Bierzo in the northwest of the country. Since parting ways with his family’s estate in 2004, Perez has built a global reputation for crafting expressive, terroir-driven wines that highlight the region’s native varieties, especially Mencía and Godello. With an instinctive connection to the land and a dedication to restoring historic vineyards, his approach has inspired a new generation of winemakers while proving that Bierzo belongs on the world stage. Pérez’s wines are all about purity and place. Using low-intervention techniques like whole bunch fermentation, natural yeasts, and neutral oak, he crafts wines that are both elegant and energetic, often from incredibly small plots.
From the remarkable value of his Ultreia range to the site-specific character of La Vizcaína bottlings, every wine reflects a thoughtful, hands-off approach that lets the vineyard shine. Minimal intervention, maximum expression, this is modern Spanish winemaking at its most exciting.
