"Kolor 2020 is a pure marvel. Intriguing at first glance, it's when you get closer to the bottle that you discover all its sublime details. The work carried out by Rául Pérez, one of the finest winemakers of his generation, and Okuda San Miguel, an outstanding Spanish artist, is simply perfect! In addition to this superb rendering, the care and attention given to the bottle's packaging is reflected within: the wine is well-worked, gourmand and deliciously harmonious. As beautiful as it is good" (Foreign wine buyer 1J1V - Wine Paris 2024)

Expert opinion
Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
Rated (guide 2023) 93/100 (Wonderful wine)
About the wine:
The collaboration between artist Okuda San Miguel and winemaker Raúl Pérez continues with Kolor 2020, a ripe, exuberant 100% Mencía presented in a bottle with colorful engravings. It was produced with grapes from a vineyard in Villadecanes, and the wine has more finesse. Production was in 80 225-liter oak barrels, and the profile obtained is more serious than that of the initial vintage. Around 20,000 bottles were produced.
