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 — 5 years ago

(17/20) Вино с ароматами вишни, базилика, поджаренного хлеба и кедра. Довольно тельное с умеренной кислотностью и приятной текстурой танинов. Нотка варенья из красной смородины проявляется во вкусе. Очень приятное! #fenavin2017 — 9 years ago
Today it was announced that @raulperez is the best oenologist in the world. While this isn't one of his wines and quite frankly not his style, it is a fantastic #mencia from #bierzo and thanks to Raúl Bierzo and Mencia are on the world wine radar. Rich and sexy aromas, smooth and soft tannins. Long and elegant. Doesn't really seem like a Mencia, seems more like a Californian Cab Franc. — 10 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
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. — 6 years ago
Rest. Raúl Resino, Benicarló (Castelló).

Mmmmm this is a porch pounder! Light lemon/lime with nice mineral and salt. I would call it “round” not crisp. Delish.
