The Valtuille Villegas single vineyard wine has not been produced since 2015, and with the 2018 vintage there is a big leap in precision and freshness: it's not just three years, it's three years of fine-tuning the work in the vineyards and the winery. The wine fermented in a 3,000-liter oak barrel with 100% whole bunches and matured in two 225-liter oak barrels and one 500-liter oak barrel. The wine is perfumed and draws more towards Burgundy; It is elegant with its "only" 12.8% alcohol. In the wine you will find highly polished tannins and the inherent elegance of the sandy soils.

The Vino de Paraje 2019 Valtuille Villegas comes from a plot by Raúl Pérez's house in the outskirts of Valtuille, so a single-vineyard bottling that might qualify for such category after five years of traceability. The plot has more sand and very old vines and is a shadowed zone. The wine fermented with 100% full clusters in oak vats and matured in used 500-liter oak barrels. It has the finesse and perfume of the sandy soils, elegant and fresh, with very fine-grained tannins. 1,200 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 202
