The 2023 Ultreia La Vitoriana was my favorite in the Ultreia range. It's floral, complex, elegant and with great depth, superb tannins and a superb texture. Like all the 2023 from the Ultreia range, it fermented with 100% full clusters with a maceration of 35 to 40 days and matured in a 225-liter oak barrel. They harvested it quite late, as it took a long time to ripen the grapes. The result is spectacular, perfumed and floral. There is a big part of the vineyard where the soils are sandy, and they might be responsible for the finesse and the silky texture. It's very perfumed, but at the same time, it's a very serious red. Only 700 bottles were produced; it makes three or four barrels, no more.
