Mostly Mencía with Bastardo (Trousseau), Garnacha Tintorera (Alicante Bouschet) and Doña Blanca. Harvested at the end of August / beginning of September. Whole-cluster fermentation in open-top 700-liter barrel. 40-60 day maceration followed by aging in 228-liter barrique for 16 months. Bottled without fining or filtration.
\WA 93 Points: I found very ripe aromas in the 2020 Ultreia Cova de la Raposa and notes of ink and licorice and a touch of cured meat and smoke. This is very round and lush, from a warm zone with sandy soils, south-facing and with a tendency to ripen early. It's creamy and spherical. There was only one 500-liter oak barrel of this, so some 600 bottles. This was not produced in 2019.”
