Tasting notes
The 2022 Ultreia Valtuille comes from different plots in the lieu-dit of Villegas. The wine has contained alcohol but has a roundness and a ripe sensation on the nose. They are using 25% foudres for the élevage here, and that percentage will be increased in the future. It has a medium to full-bodied palate with abundant, slightly dusty tannins. Some 4,800 bottles produced.

The 2022 Ultreia Valtuille blends Mencía and Trousseau from Valtuille, Bierzo. It was planted on clay soils in shaded parcels, aged in older barrels and whole-cluster fermented. The 2022 offers sanguine notes of red and dark fruit and a touch of herbs and mint. Firm, tense tannins highlight its fine-grained, juicy texture. It delivers intensity and depth with a compact structure.
