Jose Luis Mateo Monterrei Candea Blanco 2015 750 ML

On the nose, beeswax, honeycomb, golden apple, wet stone. On the palate, mouthfilling and expansive. Ripe apple and pear are framed by stony minerals, lambswool and flowers. Beautifully balanced between fruit and mineral, weight and acidity. Long, mouthwatering finish.\n \n Producer Information\n Quinta da Muradella is a small winery based in the northwestern Spanish wine region of Monterrei. Founded by winemaker José Luis Mateo Garcia in 1991, the vineyard portfolio was built up over decades and now covers around 20 hectares (50 acres) around the region. The estate produces a large number of labels, some in collaboration with local growers and other winemakers, including multi-regional Spanish winemaker and local hero Raul Perez, with whom he makes the A Trabe label. Wines from Quinta da Muradella are generally either regional blends or single varietal bottlings based around Bastardo, Mencia, Dona Blanca and a host of local Galician varieties of varying renown. Grapes are hand harvested and undergo only native ferments in the winery. Muradella’s vineyards are certified organic with biodynamic practices also in play.
