Rated 92+ - As is the case with the La Nave bottling from Casa Aurora, this wine is not technically in the D.O. of Bierzo, as the vineyards lie just outside the present day border of the region, but for all intents and purposes, it is Bierzo and I list the wine in this section, no matter what the letter of the law may say. The 2021 Clos Pepín bottling from Germán Blanco is made from a field blend of old vine, traditional Galician red grapes, with no one really quite sure any more which varieties are planted in each parcel. The wine is a bit reductive when first poured and needs a bit of aeration to blossom, but once it does, it offers up a superb bouquet of dark berries, a bit of smoked meats, dark soil tones, black tea, graphite, sweet botanicals and plenty of upper register smokiness. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, focused and complex, with a rock solid core of old vine fruit, superb mineral drive and grip, ripe, well-measured tannins and excellent length and grip on the well balanced finish. This is an excellent wine- just give it a bit of cellaring to properly soften up its backend tannins! 2031-2075+. - View from the Cellar

Region: Castilla Y Leon

Castilla y Leon is one of the oldest wine regions in Europe, and is a fascinating area for those passionate about the finest Spanish wines. For centuries, Castilla y Leon has attracted attention, due to its fascinating history, stunning architecture and interesting food and wine traditions. The vast plain of Castilla y Leon has developed a culture which is all its own, and the wines which have been made for centuries in the historic wineries of the region do all they can to reflect this. As such, many of the most distinctively 'Spanish' wines of the country hail from this region, including those made with classic Spanish grapes, such as the robust and spicy Tempranillo, or the more fruity, aromatic white Verdejo and Viura varietals.

Country: Spain

Ever since the Phoenicians and Romans brought their knowledge of vine cultivation to Spanish soils, the country's culture has grown alongside wine production, with wine being a vital part of Spanish identity and Spanish traditions. Each region of Spain has a wine quite distinct from the others, and it is produced by smallholders and families as much as it is by large companies and established wineries. From the relatively mild and lush regions of La Rioja to the arid plateaus that surround Madrid, grapes are grown in abundance for the now booming Spanish wine industry, and new laws and regulations have recently been put in place to keep the country's standards high. By combining traditional practices with modern technology, Spanish wineries are continuing to produce distinctive wines of great character, flavor and aroma, with the focus shifting in recent decades to quality over quantity.
