Luis Perez
Bodegas Luis Pérez was established in 2002 based on the singular premise that “Jerez must go back to the vineyard.”. A revisionist history of one of Spains most stayed and 'traditional' regions. Luis’s first stop was the historical Jerezano Pagos, such as Balbaina Alta, Añina, Macharnudo and Carrascal Jerezano. At the same time they founded the Corchuelo estate, planting it from sratch with exogenous varieties and non-traditional methods.
In the east of the Jerez zone, they have purchased a large single vineyard, ‘el Corregidor’ within Pago Carrascal. Here they get to work with a specific Albariza, ‘Barajuelas’. These are a stratified marl of chalk with iron layers, stacked like a deck of cards (a Baraja), and give wines of density, serious and intense. BLP also have an estate within Balbaina Alta, closer to the Atlantic which makes the freshest, most elegant wines of the Jerez zone on the more common Albariza ‘Tosca Cerrada’.
BLP work a transect of Pagos, which sum the range of possibility in el Marco de Jerez From near-coastal poniente freshness and elegance, through mid-zone ease and perfect balance, culminating in levante-influenced inland power.
