Bodegas y Vinedos Raul Perez, Bierzo Blanco Ultreia Godello, Spain, 750mL Willamette Valley A rare domaine produced Picpoul"The white 2022 Ultreia Godello is a blend of five different plots, most of them in Cacabelos. It has a very expressive nose, with notes of yellow fruit, flowers and white pepper. It's round and fleshy, with moderate ripeness and alcohol (around 12. 5%), a little balsamic with the tender mouthfeel from the riper year. It had different vinifications and levages and comes through as complex and balanced, quite impressive for the year. 45,000 bottles
