Bierzo 'El Rapalao', Cesar Marquez, 2021, Cesar Marquez
Cesar Marquez is from the legendary Perez family who have been making wine in this region for centuries. His own project focuses on super-old vines and making terroir-specific wines from different parcels.
The grapes for this wine come from a minuscule parcel of iron rich soils at 540 metres altitude. Slightly fresher, more floral and more perfumed than 2020 - just 1600 bottles produced.
