Bodegas Raul Perez Ultreia Saint Jacques 2021
Raúl Pérez is a huge name in Spain and he’s beginning to become one outside of it as well. His work with his country’s indigenous varietals are particularly noteworthy because of the way he makes the wines. A minimalist approach, he lets the old vines and unique terroir speak, and he even lets a little funk come to them. These are delicious old school wines.
The Ultreia Saint Jacques is a gorgeous Mencia that comes from vines that are as old as 110 years and only as young as 50 years. It’s made with 80% whole fermentation giving it an expressive feel with a spicy component.
Original price was: $25.00.$21.00Current price is: $21.00.

93 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
According to Raúl Pérez, it’s the most difficult wine to make here. They now work a lot to produce this wine, a blend of 11 wines selected from the 17 they made. It’s a wine that represents Bierzo and is from a year when they used more grapes from sandy soils. It has 13.16% alcohol and a pH of 3.66; it’s serious and restrained but juicy and easy to drink. Seventy percent of the wine matured in barrel and the rest in troncoconic oak vats.

Crushed blackberry and boysenberry fruit is dark and ripe in this red, accented by hints of dried lavender, woodsy spices and a subtle underpinning of loamy earth and mineral. Fresh, with light, creamy tannins
