AboutRaúl Pérez

Raúl Pérez began making wine at his family’s Castro Ventosa winery in Valtuille de Abajo, in Bierzo. He launched his own Ultreia project in 2003 and remains based in Bierzo, with work extending into León, Rías Baixas, Ribeira Sacra and Monterrei. Old vineyards and native or endangered grape varieties are central to his work. He often works with whole bunches, and some wines are bottled without fining or filtration.
