The Castro Candaz Mencía is a single-varietal red wine made exclusively with Mencía grapes, an emblematic variety from the Ribeira Sacra region in Galicia, Spain. This wine is the result of the collaboration between renowned winemakers Raúl Pérez and Rodrigo Méndez, who seek to highlight the potential of the traditional varieties in the area and reflect the landscape in which they originate. Grape variety: 100% Mencía. Production: The harvest is done manually, ensuring a careful selection of the grapes. The vinification follows traditional methods with minimal intervention, aiming to express the characteristics of the variety and the terroir to the fullest. After alcoholic fermentation, the wine ages for 6 months in used 500-liter French oak barrels, allowing it to preserve the freshness of the fruit and the soil character. Tasting notes: Sight: Bright cherry red color. Nose: Fresh and fruity aromas, with floral and mineral notes reflecting the Atlantic character of the region. Palate: Balanced, fresh, and elegant on the palate, with well-integrated acidity and soft tannins. It stands out for flavors of ripe red fruits, spicy touches, and a pronounced minerality that brings depth and complexity.
