Candea Tinto fruit is sourced from the Monterrei vineyards of a Mateo’s great friend, and now collaborator, Juan Jose Vilela. This is a fleshy, juicy blend based on Mencía, with a coterie of other local grape varieties—including Garnacha Tintorera, Mouratón and Arauxa (Tempranillo)—all sourced from mature vines rooted at 400-450m above sea level. All the ferments were wild, and included roughly one-third whole bunch influence. Most of the maturation was carried out in stainless steel.

Candea Tinto 2019

Reviews

"The red 2019 Candea Tinto is an easy-drinking, unoaked and fruit-driven blend of Mencía, Arauxa (Tempranillo), Garnacha Tintorera and Mouratón from 20-year-old vines in the village of Tamagos at 370 meters in altitude, plus some Alicante Bouschet and Mouratón from 70-year-old vines. It fermented with one-third full clusters and indigenous yeasts and was kept in stainless steel for over one year before it was bottled. It has only 12% alcohol and a pH of 3.69. It's serious—it has complexity and lightness, with very fine, chalky tannins. Delicious and way beyond what the price point suggests."
