Raúl Pérez knows like no-one else how to achieve the right balance between finesse and strength.
This is no doubt the most elegant of all the reds at Ultreia.
Vinification
Raul interferes very little in the cellar. His reds are vinified in old casks, the bunches are left whole, nothing is added or corrected.
The wine is aged under a veil of natural yeast or flor, that protects it from oxidation, so no sulphur has to be added. These yeast are naturally present in the cellar, so Raul used this veil for his red as well as his whites.
Storage potential
10-15 years.
To serve
16°-18°C.
Trial analysis
The red and black berries make one think of a cool climate, they are also typical of the Mencia grape. On perceives also some smoky, flintstone notes. The wine is juicy but solid on the palate, with a tannic structure that evokes a Northern red. Minerality comes back in the fresh and elegant finish. Still very young but already very pleasant to drink.
