The Castro Candaz Mencía is a red wine made 100% from Mencía grapes, an emblematic variety of the Ribeira Sacra in Galicia. Under the direction of winemakers Raúl Pérez and Rodrigo Méndez, this wine showcases traditional vinification with minimal intervention, highlighting both the character of the variety and the terroir where it is grown. After careful manual harvesting, the wine is fermented and then aged for 6 months in 500-liter French oak barrels. This meticulous process ensures that the wine maintains the freshness of the fruit. On the nose, fresh, fruity aromas appear, with floral and mineral notes reflecting the Atlantic influence of the region. On the palate, it is characterized by elegance, with balanced acidity and soft tannins, while flavors of ripe red fruits and spices add complexity and depth. Castro Candaz Mencía is a pure expression of its origin, ideal for enjoying with company and pairing with a variety of dishes.
