2014 Ultreia de Valtuille
Buying options
Tasting notes
Bright ruby. Pungent dark berry, cherry and pipe tobacco scents are lifted by a peppery nuance and a hint of pungent flowers. Lush, concentrated bitter cherry, blackcurrant and violet pastille flavors tighten up and become sweeter on the back half while picking up a hint of licorice. Closes sweet and impressively long, with silky tannins framing the wine's intense, clinging dark fruit.

The 2014 Ultreia de Valtuille was very open and expressive, impressive too, with notes of freshness, blood orange, red cherries and also flowers (violets, lilies) and an earthy touch. It's elegant and complex, with very fine tannins and a velvety sensation. As with all the reds, the oak is unnoticeable, perfectly integrated and folded into the wine. 3,500 bottles were filled in November 2016.

With a clear focus on terroir, the wines are often named after the places or vineyards where the grapes come from, and the range is very wide. I tasted mostly 2014s—a truly impressive year for Pérez.
