Following a rigorous cold maceration, the fruit is destemmed but crucially left uncrushed. Fermentation occurs with native yeasts, incorporating a traditional field blend of minority local varieties to add nuanced complexity. The wine is then matured for up to eight months in French oak barrels, allowing the structure to seamlessly integrate without masking the vibrant energy of the vineyard. Pouring an intense, deep colour, this Mencía opens with a striking concentration of wild red and black woodland fruits, underpinned by complex, fresh balsamic notes and a distinct, savoury minerality. On the palate, it is broad and beautifully balanced, structured by dense, fine-grained tannins that point to exceptional quality.

Crafted by the visionary Raúl Pérez in the heart of \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"176\"\u003eBierzo\u003c\/b\u003e, this is a white wine that completely rewrites the rulebook. It is an intellectual, thought-provoking pour designed for those who appreciate serious depth and texture in their glass. Instead of using modern stainless steel, Raúl ages this exceptional \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"68\"\u003eSpanish white wine\u003c\/b\u003e in large, old wooden barrels.

This is the same historic, natural technique used to make traditional Sherry, and it imparts an incredible, savoury complexity to the finished bottle. On the palate, you are greeted with a beautiful, enveloping richness. Ripe, baked orchard fruits and warm citrus notes are perfectly balanced by a totally unique, slightly nutty, and salty maritime character brought on by the \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"226\"\u003eflor\u003c\/i\u003e.

It demands to be poured alongside something equally special, pairing brilliantly with roasted monkfish, rich scallops, or a board of premium cured Spanish meats.[#intro]\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eA profoundly complex Spanish white wine offering rich orchard fruit \u0026amp; a unique saline finish...[\/intro]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Raúl Pérez","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58118558974333,"sku":"A23RAULPEREZLACLAUDINA","price":53.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/LaClaudinaBT.jpg?v=1777793943"},{"product_id":"bodegas-gallegas-sentidino-albarino","title":"Bodegas Gallegas 'Sentidiño' Albariño 2024","description":"\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eThe \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"25\"\u003eSentidiño Rías Baixas Albariño \u003c\/b\u003eis a textbook example of why the \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"94\"\u003eAtlantic coast\u003c\/b\u003e of Spain is the world's premier destination for refreshing white wine.

Because the grapes are grown in the cool, mineral-rich soils of the Salnés Valley, these bright fruit flavours are backed by a distinct, stony minerality and a refreshing hint of sea salt. On the palate, this \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"20\"\u003eSpanish white wine\u003c\/b\u003e is all about zip and zing.

Unlike more youthful styles, this wine is left to rest on its fine lees (the spent yeast cells) for several months, a technique that adds incredible weight and soul to the final bottle. On the nose, it offers a more complex bouquet than your average coastal white.
