Raúl Perez is everywhere — he’s a consulting winemaker at some of Spain’s top estates and has won many awards calling him the best winemaker in the world. Mencía is perennially one of our favorite grapes, and bolstered with a bit of Bastardo (also known as Trousseau) and Garnacha Tintorera (alias Alicante Bouschet), it packs a lot of power into one bottle. Perez is one of the finest winemakers working today in Spain. Bright red berries and cacao dominate here.

Professional Reviews

Robert Parker

RP 93
"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."
