About this wine

EL PECADO

“The Sin” — and one sip tells you why. This is one of Raúl’s most sought-after reds, made in tiny quantities, and getting hold of any is a real treat.

It comes from the Capeliños vineyard in Ribeira Sacra: just over half a hectare of vines planted more than a century ago on steep terraces of granite and broken slate. The old field blend is mostly Mencía, with Bastardo, Garnacha Tintorera, Caiño and Brancellao. Part of it is fermented as whole bunches in open vats, then it rests for a year in old French barrels and is bottled unfined and unfiltered.

It’s perfumed and elegant — violets, red and black berries, a wisp of smoke — with a cool slate minerality running right through it. Fine-boned but deep, with a long, floral finish.

Lovely with roast duck, pigeon, wild mushrooms or a slow-cooked pork cheek.

Meet the winemaker

Raúl Pérez

Raúl Pérez grew up among the vines of Valtuille de Abajo in Bierzo and has become one of Spain's most celebrated winemakers — critics simply call him the magician. He works with old, often forgotten vineyards across Bierzo and Galicia, picks early, uses wild yeasts and old wood, and lets each site speak for itself. The result is wines with a Burgundian lightness of touch and a wild Atlantic soul, and he's a big part of why the world now takes Mencía seriously.
