Citrus, orchard fruit, iodine and a subtle bitterness. The medium- to full-bodied palate shows salinity and stone fruit with tension between flavor and length.

The 2023 Ultreia La Claudina is austere and mineral and smells of wet rocks. This was bottled without malolactic and has a very austere, stony mouthfeel, with restraint and elegance.

It is creamy, broad and lean-structured despite 13.5% alcohol. It delivers mid-weight richness, juicy freshness and a long, flavorful finish.

Squeezed lemons, seashells, reductive lees and a touch of white nuts. Bone-dry and lightly saline, with excellent tension and sharp, mineral-coated white fruit.
Donkerrode, Franse wijn met de geur van donker fruit, kruiden en eikenhout. De smaak is vol en krachtig en past goed bij stoofschotels, haas of lam. Ook heerlijk bij kaas en stokbrood.

Cette cuvée intrigue et séduit par son bouquet complexe de cèdre et de pierre à pusil. Élancée, élégante, fraiche, soutenue par des tanins bien extraits, la bouche conserve ce profil minéral.
It has contained power, lots of energy and depth and a beautiful combination of wild berries, herbs and flowers. It has a fine-boned, medium-bodied palate and good balance.
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.

It offers sanguine notes of red and dark fruit and a touch of herbs and mint. Firm, tense tannins highlight its fine-grained, juicy texture. It delivers intensity and depth with a compact structure.
It's precise, clean and focused and has purity of aromas and flavors, a delicate texture, super fine tannins, balance and lots of energy. It's really stunning, bravo!

Im Hintergrund auch florale und krautige Noten wie Lorbeer oder Rosenblätter. Im Gaumen sehr harmonisch, mit Finesse und einem leicht rauchigen Touch im Abgang.

Pale ruby. Lively, slightly cheesy nose. A bit wilder and more gamey than the El Terroir. Really wild! But lots of fun.
The very aromatic, floral and expressive 2023 is an Albariño from Salnés with a profile that reminds me of the wines from the past, with varietal character and a seamless palate with a silky texture.
