Raúl Pérez Ultreia St Jacques is a cult red wine produced in the D.O. Bierzo by the prestigious winemaker Raúl Pérez. It is made from Mencía grapes from old vineyards located on clay-limestone soils in Valtuille de Abajo. Along with small proportions of Garnacha Tintorera and Bastardo, the grapes are fermented with whole clusters in wooden tanks, using indigenous yeasts, and aged in used French oak barrels for 12 to 14 months. This preserves the pure fruit and adds complexity. The result is a cherry-red wine with aromas of red fruits, violets, and a mineral background. It is noted for its vibrant acidity, polished tannins, and a long, mineral finish. Ideal for pairing with cured meats, white meats, pasta, and fatty fish. It is recommended to serve between 14°C and 16°C in a Burgundy glass, allowing the full expression of its aromas.
