El Rapolao 2024 César Márquez

After a growing season that proved to be a real challenge for all the winemakers in Bierzo, César Márquez bottled the 2024 vintage of “El Rapolao.” Following the spring rains, summer temperatures rose, so on these steep slopes with clay-shale soil, careful selection of the grapes proved more important than in typical years.

This is reflected in the wine itself. The 2024 vintage of “El Rapolao” highlights the freshness of the Mencia grape variety, characteristic of vintages with low nighttime temperatures, and possesses that lively flavor so prized by connoisseurs of Bierzo wines. Compared to warmer years, this wine offers a more distinct and aromatic flavor.
