It was a very challenging year because the vines were imparted by hail, and they did a shorter maceration trying to contain the rusticity and the tannins.

The palate is medium to full-bodied, leaning toward the former, with precise, integrated tannins. From a centenary vineyard in Villegas lieu-dit, it feels approachable yet taut, with an elegant touch.

I love the clean and precise nose of the 2023 Ultreia Valtuille; it's floral and perfumed with lots of violets. It's really approachable and fine-boned, with ripe and elegant tannins.
The 2024 Ultreia La Vitoriana is juicy and powerful, with abundant, slightly dusty tannins. It comes from the north side of the same vineyard produced by Castro Ventosa.

Peppery, with blackberries. The medium- to full-bodied palate is framed by moderately firm tannins. Youthful and attractive, with a dense thread of dark fruit. Very compact.
This is the only 2024 that fermented destemmed—all the rest were 100% full clusters. The tannins are fine and elegant, and the mouthfeel is textured and stony.

Yet another superb vintage of this ‘grand cru’ Mencía with its filigree tannins, alluring perfume and refreshing juiciness.

The 2023 La Vizcaína Las Gundiñas has a more herbaceous nose, from old vines that might have 5% of white grapes. It's a wet year in a wet place, a vineyard that retains very well the water in drier years. It has a different expression that seems to transcend the place and vintage (Raúl Pérez compared it with the 2013), and it's more aromatic. I still think this plot behaves better in drier years...
