“The 2023 Ultreia La Claudina is austere and mineral and smells of wet rocks. It comes from a dry place in a rainy year, on sandy soils that deliver elegant wines. It aged in a well-seasoned and neutral 2007 oak foudre. This was bottled without malolactic and has a very austere, stony mouthfeel, with restraint and elegance. This is the small-grained Godello from Bierzo, different from the one from Valdeorrras that has larger grapes. 2,500 bottles produced. Drink: 2025-2031. 96 points
Raúl Pérez now works with 85% to 90% of his own grapes for La Vizcaína, as they have purchased a lot of vineyards. For Ultreia, all the grapes come from their vineyards, except Claudina and Vitoriana. 2023 was a cooler year, and the wines are fresher. The Valdecañada range now includes the Petra lieu-dit that used to be part of the Ultreia range.”
