The 2021 Ultreia La Vitoriana shows some unusual toasty notes, hints of raw meat and lots of tannins, and this is the more tannic of the Ultreia range even if they lower the intensity here. The wine is a bit wild, 90% from clay and 10% sand (while La Vizcaína is mostly sand). It fermented with 100% full clusters in a chestnut vat with indigenous yeasts. This north part of the vineyard produced only two barrels, and the barrels were well-seasoned to avoid oak in the wine. This is a powerful wine that is going to need time. It opens up nicely with time in the glass.
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.
