While he is famous for elevating the Mencia grape in Bierzo to world-class status, he also has a habit of rescuing forgotten, hyper-local varieties. Rara Avis translates to rare bird in Latin, and this bottle is exactly that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eIt is crafted from Prieto Picudo, a fiercely obscure, dark-skinned grape native to the León region. In the wrong hands, this grape is aggressively tannic and intensely acidic. But Raul Perez has a supernatural touch. He managed to tame the beast, and then let it sleep in the cellar for over a decade. Today, the 2013 vintage has transformed into an elegant, deeply savory masterpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eFinding any back-vintage from Raul Perez is a massive challenge.
