Raul Perez Bierzo Godello 'Ultreia' 2021 750ml

100% Godello • sourced from 20-50 year-old vines on clay and alluvial soils in Valtuille de Abajo and Cacabelos • harvested slightly early for maximum freshness • fermented and raised for about a year in used 225L barriques and 2500L foudres • no malo • bottled unfired and unfiltered

"The white 2021 Ultreia Godello shows freshness, restraint, balance and good freshness, with a very low pH of 3.19. It was produced with grapes mostly from Cacabelos and some from around Valtuille, mostly from their own vineyards; they purchased a large vineyard with some vines planted in 1906 and another plot regrafted from Palomino, and this wine is now some 70% from their own vines. It fermented in oak foudres and barriques. It has contained ripeness, 13.5% alcohol and a very fresh and mineral profile. 93+ points" Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
