Raul Pérez

Bodegas y Vinedos Raul Perez is in the appellation of Rias Baixas. The estate is owned by the young winemaker and wine entrepreneur Raul Perez, who grew up in a wine-producing family in northern Spain. His family owns Bodega Castro Ventosa, the largest producer in the area, and he worked there and elsewhere before branching out on his own in 2004 and making his own wines. Though the inland regions of northwestern Spain have traditionally been considered unsophisticated when it comes to winemaking, Perez is changing opinions about the historic wines of the region by making limited-production, noteworthy reds and whites from traditional grapes. He is helping revive the classic red Bierzo, a wine made of the Mencia grape, as well as the white wines made from the Godello and Albarino grapes. Perez wines win compliments and ratings in the low- to mid-90s from reviewers.
