Tasting Note

The Ultreia ‘Saint Jacques’, which takes its name from the Camino de Santiago, is an excellent introduction to the Raúl Pérez range and offers great value. Floral and fruit-driven on the nose, aromas of raspberries and blackberries burst out of the glass. Fine-grained tannins on the palate with a lifted acidity that drives the juicy berry fruit onto the crisp finish.

Product Notes

Raúl Pérez Ultreia Saint Jacques is an exquisite Mencia red wine, originating from Spain's renowned Bierzo region. It’s an excellent expression of the terroir, offering a splendid balance of fruitiness and mineral intensity. The wine presents a delightful bouquet of ripe red berries, savory spices, and earthy undertones. On the palate, it's beautifully structured with well-defined tannins, displaying notes of cherry, plum, and pepper, ending in a lingering, spicy finish. This elegant, medium-bodied wine entices with its complexity and depth, making it an impressive choice for wine enthusiasts and collectors alike.

The winery is nestled amidst the magnificent landscapes of Spain's famed wine region, Bierzo.

Leveraging his in-depth understanding of the Bierzo soils and climatic conditions, Raúl extracts the maximum potential from every grape, honours the local flavour profile, and substantiates life in every bottle his winery produces.

Distinguished by a time-honoured attentiveness towards vineyard management and the winemaking process, Raúl Perez creates a line of wines of unmatched character that yield a fascinating blend of traditions and modern winemaking. Notably to his credit, his Mencía red wine hailing from old vines truly epitomises the frontier of Spanish wines; they are profound, multidimensional, and beautifully structured vintages that routinely charm wine critics and aficionados alike.
