Antoine Graillot & Raúl Pérez give rise to the Encinas project, which combines the precision of the Rhône with the soul of Bierzo. Antoine Graillot and Raúl Pérez reinterpret the Mencía grape variety, blending French tradition with the ancestral Spanish terroir.
The vinification process favours whole bunches and cement vats, imparting freshness and verticality. Ageing in large foudres preserves the purity of the fruit, resulting in elegant, mineral wines.
From the classic Encinas to the exclusive La Rata, this collaboration shines with extremely high scores from Robert Parker. It is an ode to friendship and the mastery of two legendary names.

"Encinas is the perfect dialogue between two masters: the elegant structure of the Rhône embraces the wild minerality of Bierzo, revealing a pure, vertical and timeless Mencía."
