Wine Description:
Castro Candaz A Boca do Demo is a striking example of the unique winemaking potential of the Ribeira Sacra region in Galicia, Spain. This region, known for its steep terraces and ancient vineyards, is the birthplace of some of Spain's most exciting wines. A Boca do Demo, produced by the esteemed Castro Candaz winery, is made predominantly from the Mencía grape, along with other local varietals, grown in the region's slate and granite soils. These conditions, along with the area's microclimate, impart distinct minerality and freshness to the grapes. The winemaking process, focused on minimal intervention and respect for the grape's natural qualities, includes aging in neutral barrels to preserve the wine's authentic expression. A Boca do Demo is a testament to Castro Candaz's philosophy of creating wines that are deeply reflective of their terroir—pure, expressive, and elegantly structured.
