Raul Perez El Pecado Mencia, Ribeira Sacra, Spain 2021 Domaine Georges Vernay Aromas of red and blackEl Pecado "the sin" was Ral Prez's first wine from Ribeira Sacra, and it remains one of his rarest and most sought after reds. The fruit comes from the Capelios vineyard, an ancient, vertiginous parcel on the steep schist slopes above the Sil river, farmed by the Gumaro family. Mostly Menca, braided with old field blend Bastardo, Garnacha Tintorera, Caio, and Brancellao, it shows perfumed mineral, dried flowers, and aromatic herbs before air coaxes
