Raúl Pérez El Pecado 2017 is one of the most soulful and expressive wines to come out of Ribeira Sacra. Crafted from old-vine Mencía planted on steep, terraced slopes, this wine reflects both the region’s dramatic landscape and Raúl Pérez’s intuitive, hands-off approach to winemaking. El Pecado has become a cult favorite among collectors for its purity, depth, and remarkable finesse.
The 2017 vintage opens with delicate red fruit, wild herbs, rose petals, and a distinct mineral line shaped by the region’s slate soils. On the palate, it’s elegant and finely textured, with silky tannins and a long, graceful finish. The wine carries a quiet power, never heavy, always balanced, and irresistibly layered with flavor.
Raúl Pérez El Pecado 2017 is the perfect bottle for anyone exploring Spain’s most exciting cool-climate reds. It’s a rare wine worth savoring now or cellaring for even greater complexity.
