Product Description
Details
The world-class winekamer Raúl Pérez and the prestigious Galician oenologist Rodrigo Méndez are the producers of Castro Candaz, a varietal Spanish red wine from DO Ribeira Sacra made from Mencía.
The grapes were picked by hand, meticulously selected and macerated whole-bunch for 2 months. Then they were fermented and, after the process was completed, the red wine Castro Candaz 2020 was aged for 6 months in French oak barrels.
This varietal red wine from Ribeira Sacra is a transparent expression of the Mencía variety.
Very limited production.

Good
Perfect wine for getting to know Ribeira Sacra. Light-bodied, with notes of blood, iron and citrus.
