DUE APRIL 2022

The white 2019 Candea Blanco is the entry-level wine that wants to show the character of the region through a blend of Dona Branca, Verdello and Treixadura in equal parts. The grapes come from a 21-year-old vineyard in the village of Tamagos on clay soils at 370 meters in altitude. 2019 was a healthy vintage with good rain and good weather, not too warm. The different varieties fermented together with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel and were kept with fine lees (but without bâtonnage) for one year. It has only 12.5% alcohol and good freshness, from a year with low alcohol and very good pHs. This showcases the style of the year and the winery, sharp, austere and mineral whites, with a dusty sensation, earthy with wet granite sensations. A white without fruit. 9,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2021.

José Luis Mateo is considered by many the best vigneron from Galicia. He works 18 hectares of vine in Monterrei, 15 of them owned and certified organic since 2005. He produces 35,000 bottles of a changing portfolio with many new, unusual and some almost experimental wines sometimes not easy to follow but incredibly good. Without a doubt, the best address in the appellation. The whites are super austere and fresh, like granite water, really balanced. 2019 was a very good year, healthy, similar to 2015 but with less heat.
