Villa de Corullón 2022

Villa de Corullón 2022 is a prestigious Spanish red made by the iconic Descendientes de J. Palacios winery in Bierzo. Made from old vines of the native Mencía grape farmed organically and biodynamically, this vintage stands out for its exceptionally fresh, mineral and austere profile, reflecting the unique transition between Mediterranean and Atlantic climates on steep slate slopes.

Tasting Note

Markedly aromatic and elegant, this wine shows a very intense floral expression on the nose, with seductive notes of cherry, raspberry and hibiscus. A fresh, complex aromatic whole, where red fruit and floral nuances work in harmony.

On the palate it has a deeper, more structured personality, with earthy and spicy hints and a strong mineral streak, clearly evoking the slate and schist of its terroir.

The 2022 vintage, marked by hot, dry conditions, gave higher tannic concentration than usual, giving the wine a firm, solid structure. Even so, it surprises with its vibrant acidity, remarkable verticality and a freshness that balances the vintage's power and concentration superbly.

Around 8 to 11 months in wood adds complexity and depth without masking the expression of fruit and terroir.

The quality of this vintage was also recognised by international critics, with 96 points from Luis Gutiérrez in Robert Parker's Wine Advocate.

A wine of great character, combining red fruit, minerality, structure and freshness, with excellent potential to develop in bottle.
