"The Ultreia bottling that called my attention from the moment the wines were poured is the 2021 Ultreia Paluezas. I've only tasted a couple of vintages of this before, but Raúl Pérez remembers that it has called my attention every time. The distinct feature here is that the plot has limestone soils, which are very rare in Bierzo, and the majority of the place is on slate soils. So, this has the special finesse and elegance of the limestone, and it's perfumed and elegant and has a velvety palate with very fine, chalky tannins. This is now more Burgundian than Rhône, from a cool year with very perfumed reds. This is from only 0.4 hectares or so, and it even has a small part with Palomino; he produces one 225-liter barrel and a 500-liter one.
Raúl Pérez has purchased 90% of the vineyards used for the La Vizcaína project, which gives him a lot more control over viticulture. They produce around 300,000 bottles, 60% of them Ultreia Saint Jacques.
2021 is a super clean and defined vintage, quite transparent for the soils and the places, with very fresh and balanced wines. Some of the Ultreia wines showed a little more oak and might need some more time in bottle." - Luis Gutiérrez, The Wine Advocate, Aug 10, 2023.
