El Castro de Valtuille Joven 2025Castro Ventosa (Raúl Pérez) - 75 cl.

This entry level wine in Raul Perez's range is a tribute to the Camino de Compostela (Ultreia is the salute given to the pilgrims on the way); it is also a very pure expression of the Mencia grape.

This latest addition to the Castro Candaz range was first produced in 2018. It is the only Mencía made from grapes sourced from several vineyards, both in the northern Chantada area and in the Bibei area of Ribeira Sacra. Pure Mencía fruit!

The "basic" wine from Algueira. Its amin characteristics are drinkability, juiciness, but also typicity and minerality. This type of wine is juicier than most of El Bierzo's Mencias.

Entry-level wine from this house. Honest, tasty and super-fruity. Pétalos = flower petals. Mainly from vineyards in and around Corullón. Mainly Mencía, but also quite a few unknown white and red grape varieties from the region due to the use of vieilles vignes. In 2021, it was named the best red wine in the world for value for money by Wine Spectator.
