Lot: 6 Bottles – Peique “Cova de la Raposa” Mencía 2021 (Bierzo, Spain) Overview & Prestige This lot comprises six bottles of Cova de la Raposa 2021, a distinguished “paraje” wine from Bodegas Peique in Bierzo. This cuvée carries the complexity and focus that characterize Peique’s top-tier vineyard selections, delivering a rare opportunity to acquire multiple bottles of singular provenance and consistent quality. Technical Highlights & Score Producer: Bodegas Peique (Valtuille de Abajo, Bierzo) Variety: Mencía (planted on historic vine parcels) Vintage: 2021 Vineyard: a single parcel of old vines on sandy / clay soils, south-facing exposure; part of the vineyard-designate line of Peique. Tasting Profile & Style Expect refined red-fruit tones—dark cherry, wild berries—tempered by minerality and firm but polished tannins. There is elegant slaty character, spice hints, and a long, persistent finish. The balance of freshness, depth, and terroir identity hints at strong ageing potential and gastronomic character. Cellar Condition & Provenance All six bottles have been stored under professional cellar conditions: stable temperature, controlled humidity, no sunlight exposure, and careful handling. Fill levels, labels, and closures are in excellent condition. Photographic documentation is available for proof of storage quality. Collector & Investment Appeal This six-bottle lot represents a rare chance to acquire multiple bottles of a high-end vineyard wine, from a respected biodiverse producer. With limited production and growing demand for Bierzo’s elite Mencía wines, Cova de la Raposa 2021 stands as both a fine drinking choice today and a promising patrimonial asset for the future.
