WINE DESCRIPTION
La Vizcaína El Rapolao is a premium wine produced by Raúl Pérez in the Lomas de Valtuille appellation of Spain. The vineyard features old vines that are over 80 years old, grown on steep slopes with slate soils, which impart unique mineral characteristics to the wine. The winemaking process involves natural fermentation with indigenous yeasts and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is a complex and elegant expression of the Mencía grape, with notes of black fruit, spices, and a subtle smokiness. La Vizcaína El Rapolao is a must-try for wine enthusiasts looking for a high-quality and distinctive Spanish wine.
