Characteristics Ultreia Mencía

Ultreia Mencía is a red wine produced by the winery Raúl Pérez in D.O. Bierzo.
This winery is a personal project of the renowned oenologist from León, Raúl Pérez. Since he worked in the winery Castro Ventosa, which caused a true revolution in El Bierzo, Raúl Pérez has not stopped. His latest wines Ultreia "ir más allá" reveal a career in constant evolution.
Raúl Pérez make wines almost in a traditional way. Wines that are very expressive, powerful and elegant at an affordable price. Among them, Ultreia de Valtuille, with 98 Parker points, is probably the most prestigious one.
Ultreia Mencía is made with 100% Mencía. The grapes come from different plots of old vineyards distributed between the towns of Valtuille de Abajo and Sala de los Barrios (León). Among the varieties of soils where the vineyards are planted, the clayey soils prevails, followed, to a lesser extent, by stony and sandy ones.
For the production of this wine they perform long macerations, with little extraction, of the bunches with the stems, as well as fermentation in wooden foudres.
After the wine is made, Ultreia Mencía is aged for 12 months in second- and third-use French oak barrels. Finally, this wine is not filtered nor clarified when it is bottled.
Ultreia Mencía is a synonym of passion and quality. A renowned and well-valued wine at an incredible price.

Tasting notes Ultreia Mencía

Ultreia Mencía 2019 is a warm and sophisticated red wine. The nose is very intense, with deep aromas that mingle with red fruit and blueberries. On the palate it is elegant and silky. There are also touches of iron and iodine, soy sauce and salt.

Ultreia Mencía 2017 is a red wine with very marked varietal aromas on the nose, where there are also notes of aromatic herbs, gorse and low mountain areas, as well as hints of quark cheese with blackberries. On the palate it is juicy and enveloping, a fresh and balanced red wine, with an inviting youthful character.

Ultreia Mencía 2015 is a juicy and complex profiled red wine. With this vintage, this wine once again defines the Mencía and the terroir precisely. Intense on the nose, with ripe black fruit and with elegant herbaceous notes that are slightly spicy and mineral. It has a sweet entry on the palate, is lively and balanced with a fresh and lingering finish.

Entry is greedy, very tasty and powerful. Tannins are well polished. Long finish.

Red cherry. Clean and bright, with a thin tear.

It has a complex nose. Red and black fruits, cherries and strawberries with varnish, soft vanilla and roasted notes.

Appetising attack. Fresh, tasty and very fruity on the palate with a good acidity and nice, ripe, noticeable tannins. Balanced and expressive. A fruity aftertaste with floral and mineral notes felt at retro-olfaction. Surprisingly drinkable.

Dark picota cherry colour with violet tones and a purple rim. Clean and bright. Fine, slow-falling, slightly tinted tears show on the glass.

Intense, clean and complex nose. At first we find aromas of ripe black fruit combined with herbal notes and unergrowth, which gradually give way to mineral touches, spices, pepper, vanilla, lactic notes and fine roasted notes.

Delightful entry, with fresh acidity and a certain nerve. Large final with red fruits and tannins.
This wine stands out for its power and elegance, their fruitiness and great expression, body and complexity.

Cherry color with purple hues, very intense.

Intense aromas of ripe red fruits, flowers, balsamic and mineral notes.
