Notes from critics
Bierzo is a wine region in the northwestern portion of the Castilla y León region bordering Galicia. It is best known for producing outstanding wines from the Mencia (red) and Godello (white) varietals. This offering is an outstanding expression of the Mencia grape we're proud to have added to our portfolio.

My favorite of the 2022 reds, the 2022 Ultreia La Vitoriana was cropped from the north part of a vineyard, a place that struggles to ripen, but it did ripe thoroughly in the warm 2022 vintage. It fermented with 100% full clusters with a maceration of 35 to 40 days and matured in a 225- liter oak barrel and a 500-liter oak barrel. It's perfumed, showy and a little decadent, with notes of decayed violets that are intriguing and attractive. The palate is medium-bodied and reveals very fine, chalky tannins.

An appealing red with good focus and fine structure, offering flavors of crushed black raspberry, cassis, and mountain herbs, with black pepper and sandalwood accents on a creamy palate.
