Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The young 2022 Ultreia Saint Jacques was selected from 10 vineyards, mostly cooler places because of the warmer year. The nose is harmonious and subtle, and it doesn't show any excess ripeness or heat. In fact, it is most impressive. It fermented with 100% full clusters and matured in used oak—barrels and foudres—for 14 months. The palate is medium-bodied, with a juicy texture and very fine tannins. It has a lot of fruit, but with time, it develops more complexity, with notes of fennel and aromatic herbs. There are some 240,000 bottles of this. So, availability should not be a problem.

Description
Ultreia Saint Jacques is a red wine made from Mencía grapes by the Raúl Pérez winery in the Bierzo DO.
It is a wine made from grapes coming from vineyards planted on clay-limestone soils.
These are family vineyards planted 50 years ago and onwards, located in the village of Valtuille de Abajo, which are crossed by the Camino de Santiago.
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested by hand. Once the grapes reach the winery, they are fermented in oak barrels with a capacity of 3,000 to 5,000 litres, without temperature control. Subsequently, it is aged in old used French oak vats. It is not filtered or clarified.
Taste
Ultreia Saint Jacques is a red wine with fruity aromas and hints of minerality, which also surprisingly shows the varietal character and style of the Valtuille vineyards.
It is an exuberant wine, with a lot of volume. On the palate it is direct, round and appetising, fluid in the mouth with excellent integrated acidity.
A red wine conceived as a tribute to life by its creator Raúl Pérez.
The word ultreia is of Latin origin. This is how the pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago greeted each other, and it means forward. This is the origin of one of the most popular and appreciated wine collections of the Raúl Pérez winery in the D.O. Bierzo, of which this magnificent wine is a part.
Ultreia Saint Jacques is a red wine to be enjoyed with dishes such as bluefin tuna belly, meat and vegetable lasagne, matanza with fried eggs and hot pots.
