Ultreia Saint Jacques is the introduction wine to Raul Perez’s range of Ultreia wines.

It is a Mencia-based wine, a cuvée from old vines sourced from different plots in Valtuille and Villadecanes within the DO Bierzo.

Fermented with partly whole clusters in stainless steel and oak and matured for 12 months in used barriques.

Tasting notes:

A serious yet juicy fresh wine, clean, lovely, and rounded. Scents of juicy red fruit, subtly spicy with hints of violets, strawberries, and redcurrants. Finishing fresh and vibrant.

Notes: The wine has good ageing potential.

Raúl Pérez is regarded as among the most talented and innovative winemakers, almost a legend within the Spanish winemaking world and abroad. The collaboration with other winemakers and wineries has also proved a great success. He works with the autochthonous varietals of the area. He makes amazing wines in different appellations in Galicia and elsewhere, always small and selected productions. Getting hold of his wines is not that easy, as they are probably one of the most sought-after.
