The 2018 Ultreia Petra comes from the Ponferrada zone, from a very small south-facing plot on slate soils at high altitude—some 820 meters above sea level—that was harvested around one month after the vines from Valtuille. He has around 900 vines here. This is a little exuberant, with fruit and flowers. The palate reveals abundant tannins, and the wine needs a longer time in oak to polish those tannins. It's a wine that also needs time in bottle. But the finish is very tasty and long, more Burgundian from the vineyards, with more tannins that are going to require time in bottle. There was only one barrel, so they filled some 270 bottles of this in December 2019.
