About the producer Gregory Perez came to Bierzo from his native Bordeaux in 2001 to work as an enologist for a large winery. By 2007, Gregory had begun to reject the new winemaking methods, and set out with a newly defined vision: to produce Bierzo wines, free of artifice, and that express the Bierzo terroir in a clear and concise manner. With the purchase of his own 5ha, he started Bodegas Mengoba, named after the native grapes of Bierzo – Mencía, Godello, and Doña Blanca. To achieve his goal, Gregory works only with native grapes, farming them as organically as possible, and working with natural winemaking methods, such as fermenting all of his wines with wild yeasts and working with very little sulfur during the winemaking process. Gregory has also started a second project to showcase his work as a micro-negociant, exclusively buying fruit from growers that focus on the health of the soil first and that do not use herbicides."
