Ulterior is a project that saw the light in 2007. Planting was done in el Romeral, in the center of La Mancha (Tomelloso). At the base was Elias López-Montero, according to Decanter one of Spain's most promising oenologists. With great respect for his terroir and his history, Elias manages to make beautiful wines that underscore the authenticity of his region.
Vinification
The entire Ulterior project consists of organic vineyards. A study was even worked out in collaboration with the Instituto de la Vid to determine which native grape varieties would be best suited to cope with climate change. The grapes are picked manually and receive their vinification on Terracota amforae. Only 10% ripen on large holding fouders.

Trial analysis
A Garnacha full of finesse.Blind in the glass this wine is reminiscent of the refinement of Comando G and Dani landi. Elegant and finesse, supple and easy drinkable. In the mid-palate a touch of sunshine which brings out the fruit beautifully with a very refined tannic structure.
