2022 Raul Perez Bierzo Tinto, 'Ultreia St. Jacques'

A mencía-dominant field blend with Bastardo (Trousseau), Garnacha Tintorera (Alicante Bouschet), Palomino, Doña Blanca and more • blended from many different parcels, mostly planted between the 1890s and the 1940s in and around Valtuille de Abajo on clay, alluvial stones and sand
Floral, spicy aromas with hints of underbrush and crushed blackberry and boysenberry. Serious & restrained yet also juicy and easy to drink with great vibrancy and length on the palate. Medium bodied, hints of herbs, lavender, coffee bean, and tomato leaf, loamy earth, light tannins, stone & tar. A savory red for fans of volcanic, mineral-driven wines from Mt Etna or a unique alternative to Burgundy.
