Notes on the Wine
Fresh and floral on the nose, with a hint of coffee, it is round and expressive on the palate, with plummy fruits and a little gaminess.
Notes on the Producer
Raúl Pérez makes wine in several different regions of Spain’s northwest, but he makes his home (and some of his finest wines) in Bierzo. The wines in the Ultreia series follow the Burgundy model: a pair of entry-level “village” wines from multiple sites and then a collection of single-vineyard expressions. The majority of these vineyards are located in the village of Valtuille de Abajo, where the Pérez family has lived and worked for generations.
