Jose Luis Mateo and his Quinta da Muradella, are single handedly responsible for the codification and ascent of Monterrei, bringing it from an area best known for bulk production to one of the epicenters of fine wine production in Galicia. With Candea, a side project that has taken on a life of its own, Jose Luis strives to make wines that are pure representation of Monterrei, but at an affordable price. As terroir driven as anything he makes, he crafts this from all indigenous varieties from small, old vine plots located throughout the river valley Monterrei sits in. His minimalist approach showcases this unique terroir, highlighting the freshness and minerality of Monterrei.

"The white 2016 Candea Blanco is a blend of equal parts Dona Blanca, Verdello and Treixadura from 20-year-old vineyards in the village of Tamagos at 370 meters in altitude on clay soils. It fermented at low temperature in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and was kept with the lees for one year, but the lees were not stirred. This has the austere profile of the cooler vintages, where the whites from Monterrei excel and show the rocky minerality. This is more about soils than grapes, and the palate also reveals the texture. This is incredible for the price. 6,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2018. There is no 2017 of this white, as they lost the grapes as a result of the killer frost that year. So, it will come back with 2018. " -Luis Gutierrez
