Parker über: Ultreia Rapolao Mencia

The 2023 Ultreia Rapolao, like in 2022, matured exclusively in foudre, as they have eliminated the barrels for the élevage. This comes from the old part in a slope that was planted with a field blend of different varieties. It's super clean, a constant in the Ultreia 2023s, floral and expressive, with a fine-boned palate and fine tannins. 1,200 bottles produced.

Suckling über: Ultreia Rapolao Mencia

Fleshy, nervy and expressive, with aromas of dried flowers and a sense of underlying energy. The palate is layered with fine-grained tannins that lend precision and grip. There's a great interplay between tension, fruit and structure, resulting in a wine that feels both firm and vibrant, with savory depth and character. Drink or hold.

Tim Atkin über: Ultreia Rapolao Mencia

A strikingly bright and elegant Rapolao, aged in foudres, this offers distinctive aromas of pine needle, rosemary and mint with a hint of savoury bay leaf that gives way to subtle meaty and bloody undertones. This interpretation of the paraje showcases freshness – it is a detailed wine with quiet power.

Mein Winzer

Raul Perez

Nicht nur aufgrund seiner imposanten äußeren Erscheinung, sondern auch wegen seiner teilweise sehr unkonventionellen Arbeitsweisen, wird Raul Perez gerne als Rockstar-Winzer Spaniens bezeichnet.
