Description

Candea Tinto is an easy-drinking, unoaked and fruit-driven blend of multiple grape varieties— Mencia, Arauxa, Garnacha Tintorera, Mouratón and old vine (70 yo) Alicante Bouschet and Mouratón hailing from the wild hills of Monterrei. It was fermented with one-third full clusters and wild yeasts and was kept in stainless steel for one year before bottling.

Many producers consider José Luis Mateo to be the finest grape grower in Galicia. He's relentless in his search for excellence and is often unhappy with the results even when you think the wines are amazing. In fact, his wines are amazing, without a doubt the finest of Monterrei, and they transcend the appellation and find themselves among the finest wines from Galicia and from Spain. This time he has done a custom bottling for the Matador magazine in Spain, a white from 2016 that ranks among the finest he has produced so far. His annual production averages 35,000 bottles per yea
