Buy Wine from Bodegas Luis Pérez
Bodegas Luis Pérez, located in the picturesque region of Andalusia, Spain, represents a modern renaissance in Jerez's winemaking tradition. Founded in 2002 by Luis Pérez, a respected professor of oenology at the University of Cádiz and former winemaker at Domecq, the bodega is a family project that has evolved significantly since its inception. Luis, together with his son Willy Pérez, has pioneered the reinvention and rediscovery of the region's winemaking potential, setting new standards for Jerez wines.
Vineyards
The vineyards of Bodegas Luis Pérez extend over varied soils rich in history. In Pago del Corchuelo, the soil is stony, clayey and calcareous, known locally as Tocina, composed of gypsiferous marl and albariza. This unique soil gives the wines great minerality and concentration. The Hacienda Vistahermosa, located on this estate, is the epicentre of the project, where red varieties such as Merlot, Syrah, Petit Verdot and Tintilla are grown.
In the Pago de Balbaína, the El Calderón del Obispo estate benefits from the Atlantic influence, with soils of albariza de tosca cerrada and tosca de barajuelas, which provide an ideal structure for growing Tintilla de Rota. These soils give concentrated and sapid wines, with a great chalky sensation and aptitude for ageing.
The Macharnudo vineyard, known for its legendary minerality, is among the most famous vineyards in the Jerez area. With soils rich in Toscas de Barajuelas, it is ideal for long ageing wines. The San Cayetano and La Escribana estates, located in this pago, are famous for their purity of albarizas.
The Carrascal estate, north of Jerez de la Frontera, is known for its historic El Corregidor estate. With excellent quality albariza soils, this estate produces wines of great fame, including varieties such as Pedro Ximenez, Tintilla de Rota and Palomino fino.
Philosophy
Bodegas Luis Pérez focuses on making wines that reflect the unique terroir of each estate. Following the tradition of zoning the vineyards in the Jerez region, each plot is vinified in a different way, respecting the history and characteristics of each terroir. The winery has been a pioneer in the recovery of Tintilla, a local variety with great potential for the production of delicate and elegant wines.
Luis and Willy Pérez have adopted winemaking techniques that include night harvesting and sun drying the grapes, with the aim of creating a range of traditional Sherry styles. These wines, such as La Barajuela Fino, Oloroso and Raya, are characterised by being unfortified and faithfully reflecting the terroir of each plot.
In short, Bodegas Luis Pérez is an outstanding example of innovation and respect for tradition in Jerez viticulture. With a combination of in-depth oenological knowledge and a focus on terroir, the winery has succeeded in creating wines that are both an expression of its heritage and a step forward in the evolution of wine in the region.
