A new talent in Bierzo, working with ancient vines
César Márquez might be a new name to many, but is a winemaker with long-established roots in the Bierzo region of Spain. His work with the Mencía grape, from a number of vineyards with over 100-year-old bush vines, has won him plaudits even in the relatively short time he’s had his own project.
The nephew of Raúl Pérez, César has winemaking in the blood, having worked previously for his family vineyards as well as a stint in Mendoza with the Michelini brothers. But his approach to his wines and vineyards is unique - looking to establish a Burgundian style of classification in the Bierzo region, and focusing on different expressions based on the terroir of individual vineyards and parcels. The results are astonishing.
César will be in town in late June to show a wide range of his wines, and we are delighted to be taking over the private dining room at Lisboeta for the dinner, Nuno Mendes’s ‘love letter to Lisbon’, with spectacular cuisine to match the wines.
