We had another huge arrival of distributor bin ends arrive this week, if you got lucky with the last round the star was really the oak bomb Chardonnay from Marlborist in New Zealand. This time though it’s more a constellation of white dwarfs, but last night we drank this red from Bierzo in Castilla y Leon - Spain. As a real bin end it retails for £30 but is half that for you in store. Raúl Pérez most importantly has a phenomenal beard, secondly he makes seriously fantastic w**es that are an expression of place and practice. The practice is as old as w**e, low intervention, whole bunches and the best fruit left to find its own path. In the glass it’s dense, brambles, currants, dark chocolate with tannin and acidity that balance wonderfully. The field blend of grapes has Garnacha to compliment the dominant Mencia, the sally sea breeze coming from the latter.
Don’t wait, these will not be on the shelves by Monday, we have Barolo’s and some Rhone masters to chose from too
