Álvaro Palacios (of L'Ermita fame) and nephew Ricardo Pérez didn't come to Bierzo to follow trends—they came to preserve ancient vineyards that had been abandoned. Corullón draws from roughly 90 different plots on steep schist and slate hillsides at 500 to 950 meters elevation, many with vines over 100 years old. Ninety-three percent Mencía farmed biodynamically, harvested by hand and mule. Eight months of barrel aging lets the wine's mineral tension and fine-grained tannins speak for themselves. The 2022 shows generous ripe fruit balanced by the kind of slate-driven energy that makes you pay attention.

Robert Parker

"The bottled village red 2022 Corullón was produced with grapes from around 90 different plots and had a short élevage of eight months in barrel. It is 93% Mencía, 4% Jerez (Palomino), 2.5% Alicante Bouschet and 0.5% Gran Negro bottled at 13.5% alcohol. It's floral and aromatic, but compared with the more-austere 2023, it comes through as more generous, riper and a little gentler, with more fruit but with elegance and freshness that nobody expected during the torrid summer and harvest. It keeps the freshness and poise, with fine-grained tannins. 25,392 bottles and some smaller and larger formats produced. It was bottled in August and November 2023, as they had to stop for the harvest." —Luis Gutiérrez

"A graceful red, showing lovely balance. Structured by refreshing blood orange peel acidity and light, supple tannins enmeshed with a pure beam of crushed boysenberry and mulberry fruit, floral, dried thyme, licorice root and mineral notes. Drink now through 2035."

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Roasted pork with herbs, game birds, or aged cheese. The mineral tension and fine tannins complement earthy preparations without overpowering.
