"This vintage from the warm terroir of La Vizcaína, created by Raúl Pérez, offers warm, jammy flavors that are immediately enjoyable."

The 2022 Poulosa vintage from Rául Pérez, now recognized as one of Spain's greatest winemakers, offers a rich and powerful tasting experience. Its striking, rustic tannins harmoniously counterbalance its intense flavors of jammy black fruits. Blackberry jam, crushed blackcurrant, violet, and licorice: this is a warm, ripe vintage whose fine, energetic, and balancing acidity offers immediate drinking pleasure. Open it around a convivial table: with poultry, baked Mont d'Or cheese, or slow-cooked meat. Enjoy!

Wine rating (2024 guide) 92/100 (Outstanding wine)

About wine:

The 2022 La Vizcaína La Poulosa is the wine that suffered most from the effects of the 2022 heatwave, as it comes from the hottest part of the region. It has a dark color and a very ripe nose, bordering on overripe, with notes of prunes, dates, and a touch of warm earth. The palate is rustic with abundant tannins and a powdery finish. 2024-2028

Review and opinion by Mr. MATHIEU W. Published on 10/18/2025

Medium-deep ruby with a cherry-red rim. Nose: earthy, mushroom, with a hint of red fruit and forest berries. Quite layered, but with atypical aromas: a bit of everything. Natural wine!? Immediately atypical on the palate, you get the impression that the wine is corked, or somewhat impure, but still red berries and wild raspberries, again some earthiness and those mushrooms. A very idiosyncratic wine that I appreciate more and more with each sip! Also somewhat reminiscent of Beaujolais. Score: 16/20
