The very punchy and much more mineral-inflected medium weight flavors possess first-rate delineation as well as fine length on the balanced and saline finish

Raul Perez, Ultreia Cova Raposa other_regions_australia spice and an interesting whiffAgain, the cooler 2021 seems to have worked nicely for the 2021 Ultreia Cova de la Raposa, which compensates for the warmer place. Despite the moderate alcohol, 13. 1%, the aromatic expression is quite ripe, and there are toasty notes redolent of roasted sunflower seeds. It's from a small plot with southeast exposure that only produces enough wine for a 500 liter oak barrel. It has abundant tannins and toasted notes that make a comeback in the finish.
