About César Márquez Villegas

The wind that caresses the vineyards of Valtuille de Abajo and the sand that composes its soils bear witness to a history that transcends generations. A privileged corner of Bierzo, with over 100 years of history, where César Márquez, with his innovative vision and love for the terroir, crafts wines that speak of tradition with a voice that looks to the future.
 
César Márquez Valtuille is a gem that originates from one of the Grand Crus sites of Valtuille, in the D.O. Bierzo, a terroir whose characteristics yield the most elegant and distinctive wines of the region, renowned for their delightful floral notes on the nose.
 
César Márquez, born and raised among vineyards, inherited his love for wine from an early age. After working with his uncle, the renowned oenologist Raúl Pérez, in 2017 he took over his family's winery, Castro Ventosa. Concurrently, he began crafting his own wine in a restored early 19th-century winery. His focus on quality and the expression of each parcel has earned his wines recognition and appreciation from critics. Here, the history of wine intertwines with the passion of a young winemaker who has successfully connected the essence of the land with innovation.
 
César Márquez Valtuille is a red wine that truly reflects the balance between tradition and avant-garde. It is crafted from a unique blend of Mencía, Garnacha, Bastardo, and a touch of white grapes sourced from a vineyard over a century old, situated at an altitude of 510 meters, where the sandy soils impart elegance and finesse.
 
The must ferments spontaneously, without additives, in 1,000-litre vessels with 30% whole clusters. The grapes are gently trodden to preserve some whole berries, and during maceration, a daily manual pigeage is performed without breaking the cap. This meticulous process continues with the bleeding, pressing, and settling of the wine before it is placed in 500-litre barrels for 12 months. Undoubtedly, all the effort invested bestows César Márquez Valtuille with a distinctive character and personality, noted for its freshness and elegance.
 
Ideal for accompanying a good conversation, César Márquez Villegas is not just a wine; it is the reflection of a terroir that speaks through the passion of a winemaker who honours the legacy of his land while taking confident steps towards the avant-garde.

2023

César Márquez Villegas 2023 is a red wine that embodies nature at its finest, with a fresh and floral touch that reflects the subtlety of a harvest experienced amidst rain and waterproof gear. The year 2023, marked by generous rainfall, brings with it a surprising fluidity reminiscent of memorable vintages like 2001 and 2021. On the palate, it unfolds with elegance, revealing a profile more delicate than its predecessor, yet equally vibrant and full of freshness. A wine that, like the rain that witnessed its birth, caresses the palate and leaves an elegant lingering impression.
