Bodegas Margón "Primeur" León 2021

Vin Chicago: 91 Points

(6/2025) Spanish wine mystic Raul Perez makes this wine as a hired hand at Bodegas Margón. You've likely not heard of Margón, as they are an entirely unknown producer, producing wine in an appellation (León) that rarely sees exports to the US, from a totally unfamiliar red grape called Prieto Picudo! Yet here it is, in our stores. Why? Because it is wonderful! The hand tended grapes, growing sustainably in chalk soils, are fermented natually in open top fermenters with wild yeasts and no additions. Energized, earthy gutsy-ness is a theme here, with wild red fruits, herbal qualities, crunch, grit, soul and yumminess - sounds good, right? It is!
