2021. We really enjoyed one of his Godellos with oysters before, so when we got a delivery from Massachusetts today, it was an easy choice. This wine is rich with salty green apple flavors, and nice acidity. We all loved the pairing. — 4 months ago

A very serious 100% Mencía, Valdeobispo is sourced from a 1.6 hectare plot planted in 1910 in the eponymous lieu-dit in Villafranca del Bierzo. This was the first vintage of this single-vineyard bottled under Cantariña’s label. Prior to this, grapes were sold to their neighbor Raúl Pérez, who actually advised them to vinify this plot on its own. Fermented in oak foudre and aged in used barriques for 12 months. Unusually dark ruby color, quite concentrated, slightly rustic. Aromas of red fruit, hibiscus, floral and earthy notes. Round and powerful, smooth tannins — 3 years ago

Very saline wine. Med high acidity and not very tannic. Not very fruity for mencia but with some black fruit notes. Quite like the saltiness and minerality. I’m impressed. — 3 years ago

Dry, elegant Godello from three sites around Valtuille de Abajo in Bierzo, Raúl Pérez’ hometown. Fermented in used barrels. Austere nose with notes of grapefruit and lime. Mineral, lightly saline, reminiscent of classic Chablis. Nice, slightly bitter finish. — 4 years ago

Paella night! I know we’re supposed to do Rioja, but Bierzo is on the table tonight. Cracked pepper & blackberry nose. Full bodied, more dark berries and smoky notes cross the mid palate. Structured, but very approachable and enjoyable right now. — 4 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 — 2 years ago
