"This wine, produced by Raúl Pérez from the warm terroir of La Vizcaína, offers warm, jam-like flavors that are instantly enjoyable."

The 2022 Poulosa from Rául Pérez, now recognized as one of Spain’s greatest winemakers, offers a rich and powerful tasting experience. Its bold, rustic tannins harmoniously balance its intense flavors of jammy black fruits. Blackberry jam, crushed blackcurrants, violets, and licorice: this is a warm, ripe vintage whose fine, energetic, and balancing acidity offers immediate drinking pleasure. Open a bottle for a convivial gathering: pair it with poultry, baked Mont d’Or cheese, or braised meat—enjoy!

Wine rated (2024 guide) 92/100 (Excellent wine)

About the wine:

The 2022 La Vizcaína La Poulosa is the wine that suffered the 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 overripeness, with notes of prunes, dates, and a hint of warm earth. The palate is rustic with abundant tannins and a powdery finish. 2024–2028
