Bodegas y Vinedos Raul Perez Ultreia Godello

Raul Perez was born into a winemaking family, and he worked for his family full-time until 2003 (he still helps out) when he went out on his own. He is among the most meticulous and eccentric vignerons in the world, and his reluctance to compromise has made him both beloved and controversial. We love him!

At his own winery, he makes a range of whites and reds that showcase pure terroir and transparent varietal character. 'The white 2021 Ultreia Godello shows freshness, restraint, balance and good freshness, with a very low pH of 3.19. It was produced with grapes mostly from Cacabelos and some from around Valtuille, mostly from their own vineyards; they purchased a large vineyard with some vines planted in 1906 and another plot regrafted from Palomino, and this wine is now some 70% from their own vines. It fermented in oak foudres and barriques. It has contained ripeness, 13.5% alcohol and a very fresh and mineral profile. They produced around 35,000 bottles of this.' - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points.
