Raúl Pérez, the magician of Ribeira Sacra

Century-old vines on impossible slopes, slate soils and an energy you won't find anywhere else: welcome to the world of Raúl Pérez.

A winemaker like no other

Raúl Pérez is one of the most admired figures in Spanish wine. For years without a winery of his own, working as a flying winemaker, he achieved what very few have: putting Ribeira Sacra on the world’s wine map.

His vines grow on near-vertical slate slopes. There, century-old Mencía vines produce tiny, concentrated grapes.

Wines of pure energy

What strikes you when tasting a Raúl Pérez is the energy. His wines are neither heavy nor over-extracted: they are vibrant, floral, with an acidity that invites another glass.

References like El Pecado or La Penitencia have become cult wines, sought after by collectors worldwide.

At Classic Vins

We work directly with Raúl Pérez’s circle to bring each vintage to Andorra. Quantities are always limited: if you see a reference available, now is the time to reserve it on WhatsApp.
