Raul Perez 'La Vitoriana' Lomas de Valtuille, Bierzo, Spain 2020 white BlackcurrantsThe 2020 La Vizcana La Vitoriana matured mostly in a troncoconic oak foudre and had a very short time in barrel. This wine has more Alicante Bouschet in the blend than others, and they didn't include the white grapes in the vineyard. But against all logic, the wine has more finesse than the 2019. 6,000 bottles produced. 97 Pts Luis Gutierrez, Robert Parker Wine Advocate
