The 2021 Ultreia Valtuille was produced with the clay part of their Villegas plot as the sandy part was used for the new Ultreia Villegas bottling but introduced the lower part of the vineyard with more soil and more clay. They produced more or less the same amount as in previous years some 18 barriques; but in 2021 they introduced foudres for part of the wine and in this first year the foudre was newer (they used it to ferment a white before). They also started renewing their barrels so the wines show a little more oak than usual. It has moderate alcohol and mellow acidity and it seems like the longer cycle and the slow ripening burned some acidity.
