About this wine

LA MURIA

This is the one. La Muria has twice been awarded a perfect 100 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, and with only a few hundred bottles made each year it’s about as rare as Spanish wine gets. We have a tiny allocation.

The vineyard sits at around 1,045 metres in the village of Viariz — the highest in Bierzo — on half a hectare of slate and schist, fully open to the wind. Its name comes from the stone walls built from rocks left behind by Roman gold miners. The old field blend, mostly Mencía, is foot-trodden and fermented as whole bunches, then aged for a year in old French oak.

It’s deeply perfumed — wild berries, violets, mountain herbs and pomegranate — with silky, very fine tannins, a thread of mineral energy and a finish that seems to go on forever.

A bottle for a special occasion: roast game, a beautiful rib of beef, or simply good friends and the time to enjoy it.

Bodegas y Viñedos de Viariz (Raúl Pérez)

Bodegas y Viñedos de Viariz is Raúl Pérez's tiny project in the high, wind-swept village of Viariz, at the top of Bierzo. Raúl — the winemaker critics call the magician of Spanish wine — farms a handful of ancient field-blend plots here on slate and schist, foot-treads the grapes, ferments with wild yeasts and ages in old French oak. Production is minuscule, and the results are among the most celebrated wines Spain has ever made.
