R. Parker (96/100)
The 2023 Ultreia La Claudina is austere and mineral and smells of wet rocks. It comes from a dry place in a rainy year, on sandy soils that deliver elegant wines. It aged in a well-seasoned and neutral 2007 oak foudre. This was bottled without malolactic and has a very austere, stony mouthfeel, with restraint and elegance. This is the small-grained Godello from Bierzo, different from the one from Valdeorrras that has larger grapes. 2,500 bottles produced.
