Falcoeira A Capilla 2016 is a limited production red wine created by Telmo Rodríguez in the Denomination of Origin Valdeorras. This wine comes from one of the most emblematic vineyards in the Bibei River valley, located in Falcoeira, Santa Cruz. The vineyard has been revitalized and is cultivated following principles of organic farming, set on steep terraces with granitic soils at altitudes between 400 and 600 meters. These factors contribute freshness and distinct minerality to the wine.
The blend of Falcoeira A Capilla 2016 primarily includes native varieties such as Mencía, Brancellao, Sousón, and Garnacha, all hand-harvested and fermented with indigenous yeasts. Its aging takes place in large foudres and oak barrels, imparting complexity and structure without masking the Atlantic character that defines the wine.
On tasting, this wine shows a medium-bodied garnet red color, and its nose is intense and complex, with predominance of ripe fruit, chocolate notes, lactic hints, and a mineral, salty background. On the palate, it is fresh and straightforward, with present tannins that highlight its personality and typicity, finishing with a long, salty closure that invites enjoyment.
Falcoeira A Capilla 2016 represents the effort to recover historical vineyards and native varieties that Telmo Rodríguez engages in, showcasing the uniqueness of Valdeorras and the expression of the most ancient Galician terroir.
