Raúl Pérez is one of the most influential winemakers in Spain, full-stop. So many other winemakers have worked with him and gone on to do great things and I am not too shy to say that I would love to work him him! His Pan y Carne is a rare bird: made from Merenzao – a grape only recently admitted into the appellation of Bierzo by the regulatory board, but giving the sort of vibrant, pale red-fruited and herbal character to a wine that I love.
