It feels young—you wouldn't guess it's already ten years old—and it has the textbook aromas from Rioja

Here's a beautifully elegant and fine expression of Nebbiolo from Treiso

Raul Perez 'Las Gundinas' Lomas de Valtuille, Bierzo, Spain 2019 Château de Valandraud It feels young—you wouldn't guessPrez told me that Las Gundias is quite unpredictable, and the 2019 La Vizcana Las Gundias is more Rhne like and juicy, with notes of straw and hay and also a note of iron. It's 13. 5% alcohol. They always ferment with 10% full clusters and have the same maceration, but they have lowered the time in barrel as the wines stay in the fermentation oak vats until February and then are put in 500 liter and larger barrels and bottled before the next harvest.
