Bierzo's flagship varietal Mencia, in the hands of cult winemaker Raul Perez and his nephew César Márquez, is a wonderful thing. Their El Castro de Valtuille is an absolute overachiever, delivering vibrancy, complexity, depth and elegance at an irresistible price point. This is a very pure and authentic expression of the variety, with tart fruit, a touch of smoke, and a very mineral-driven finish.

Burgundy lovers looking for exceptional value, look no further.

Castro Ventosa was founded by the Perez family in 1752 and has never changed hands. Rising star César Márquez now runs the cellar, and manages the project day to day, with input from his uncle Raul Perez.

Their wines are lovely examples of Mencía at its best, the result of careful and dedicated work in the vineyard and a hands-off approach in the cellar, a superb introduction to this under the radar variety.

The wines always had a very traditional profile, but they have adapted to the new categories from the Bierzo appellation. They are focusing on their vineyards and using larger barrels, and have moved toward more freshness in the wines.
