Trial analysis
Nice red Burgundy colour.
Aromas of fresh red fruit that expand and get more complex with air. A lot of minerality. A continental wine profile one thinks of a red Burgundy, and a Grand Cru at that!
Elegance and strength, complexity and persistence - all the attributes of a grand wine.

Reviews
R. Parker (98/100)

The nose of the 2022 La Faraona is an explosion of flowers and wild herbs, with an herbal side to it, really impressive and very Burgundian, with the Chambolle perfume and elegance. This year, exceptionally, La Faraona was harvested before Moncerbal and Las Lamas, something that has never happened in the past, when it was harvested even two weeks after, as this is a lot higher in altitude. So, it's a year full of contradictions. So far, this is amazing, reminiscent of a grand cru Burgundy.

Guía Peñin (97/100)
Wine estate

One grape: Mencia. One terroir: El Bierzo. One winemaker: Ricardo Pérez Palacios. The result is outstanding wines that speak of their origin.
With Raul Perez, Ricardo realised the importance of his parcels' identity. They were the driving force behind the new regulations in the Bierzo appellation.

Description

La Vizcaína is a project by Raul Pérez where all wines are made from separate vines, with different orientations and soils. La Vizcaína derives from the name given to Raul's father (El Vizcaino, the Basque), also a oenologist, and who died young. For this project, Raul is assisted by his nephew, oenologist Cesar Marquez.

Description

The Cobrana cuvée does not come from Valtuille, like the other wines of the estate, but from 6 parcels around the village of Cobrana, at some 700 metres above sea level. It is a field blend, with some 25% of white grapes - red and white grapes are pressed together. The soils are not sandy like in Valtuille, but made of slate and clay. Whereas the Valtuille wines show a distinctive Rhône-profile, the Cobrana is more similar to a Burgundy wine.
