Organic/Bio Lower ABV From a vines planted in the late 1800s, this is simply breathtaking. As with all Perez's Bierzo reds, the vineyard is a blend of mostly Mencia with Bastardo (Trousseau), Garnacha Tintorera (Alicante Bouschet), Godello and Dona Blanca, although in 2020 the white grapes were sorted out before the whole cluster fermentations began. Elegant and intense and very, very, pure.
"The 2020 Ultreia Valtuille is truly amazing and more so next to the unusual 2019. This is floral, expressive, fresh and balanced, with incredible elegance. There's a lot of precision here, they picked on exactly the right date, removed the white grapes, and the wine matured in barrique for five months and then in 1,000-liter oak foudre. The fine tannins show the finesse of the sandy soils. It's even a notch above the already other worldly 2018. Possibly the finest Ultreia Valtuille ever, with a moderate 12.7% alcohol. Bravo!"
