Raul Perez Ultreia Godello White Wine 2022 Vintage

The 2022 Raul Perez Ultreia Godello White Wine showcases the vibrant potential of Bierzo’s terroir through its crisp mineral-driven profile and refreshing acidity. Crafted by renowned winemaker Raul Perez, this Spanish white derives its purity from meticulously farmed Godello grapes grown in Bierzo’s sun-drenched vineyards. With a stellar 93-point rating from Wine Advocate, this wine delivers exceptional value for lovers of bright, age-worthy whites.

Sourced primarily from north-facing slopes in Valtuille de Abajo—where cool microclimates preserve natural acidity—this Godello balances ripe fruit character with laser-sharp freshness. The 2022 vintage highlights Raul Perez’s commitment to sustainability: 80% of grapes now come from estate-owned vineyards in Cacabelos and Ponferrada, ensuring consistency and quality. Fermented without malolactic conversion and aged in a blend of barriques, large oak foudres, and concrete tanks, it marries subtle oak nuances with vibrant citrus and stone-fruit flavors.

With a striking pH of 3.2 and high natural acidity (6.6–6.8 g/L), this wine offers an invigorating dry finish that pairs brilliantly with seafood or herb-crusted poultry. Its bright mineral notes and zesty structure make it ideal for summer sipping or cellar aging—perfect for those seeking a crisp alternative to oaky Chardonnays or unoaked whites. At 13.5% alcohol, it strikes a harmonious balance between boldness and approachability.

Whether enjoyed on its own or as a versatile table wine, this Bierzo Godello stands out for its precision and aging potential—a testament to Raul Perez’s dedication to highlighting Bierzo’s unique viticultural heritage.
