About Ultreia de Valtuille

Ultreia de Valtuille is a red wine crafted in the DO. Bierzo by one of the most renowned and influential Spanish winemaker-vintners of the moment, Raúl Pérez.

Ultreia de Valtuille is a red wine with very limited production, which, from its first vintage, garnered significant acclaim from international critics.

"Ultreia" was the greeting once used by pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago. It is a Latin word that we would translate today as "onward" or "continue".

Ultreia de Valtuille is a single-variety wine made from the old Mencía grape, sourced from a single estate, "Las Villegas," located in the small village of Valtuille. This estate spans just over 1 hectare of old vines, planted in 1908 on clay-limestone soil with a sandy surface. It is situated at an altitude of 530 meters above sea level and enjoys an Atlantic-continental climate—a cold yet relatively moderate climate, as it is located halfway between the interior and the coast. The vinification is carried out with minimal intervention. Fermentation takes place in large wooden vats. After fermentation, long macerations with low extraction are applied.

Ultreia de Valtuille undergoes 14-15 months of aging in used French oak barrels. Once aging is complete, it is bottled without filtering or clarification.

Raúl Pérez is a connoisseur of the Mencía variety, and with this Ultreia de Valtuille, he delivers one of his masterpieces.
