As Penas is the white single-vineyard wine from Adega A Barouta in Ribeiro. It comes from an old vineyard in the Val do Avia, planted on granite soils. The mixed planting is dominated by Treixadura, complemented by Albariño, Caíño Blanco, Loureiro, Agudelo and other local varieties. Treixadura forms the backbone of the wine, while Albariño brings extra acidity and energy. A white Ribeiro with plenty of tension, minerality and a clearly Atlantic character. It is also made to develop well in bottle.

The first red wine from this new Atlantic project by Comando G and Javier Alén. Ventoleiro does not come from a single vineyard, but from several small plots in the Val do Avia in Ribeiro. A total of 1,300 bottles were produced for this first vintage. Purely Atlantic in style, with only 11% alcohol. Very refined and mineral.

Ventoleiro Branco is the entry-level white cuvée from Adega A Barouta, the project of Javier Alén, Dani Landi, Fernando García and Roberto Núñez in Ribeiro. The grapes come from vines aged between 20 and 70 years, planted at 170 to 230 metres above sea level. The soils are made up of sandy clay, granite and slate.

Pack 6 bottles: 3 Ventoleiro Branco (Blanco) 2024 + 3 Ventoleiro Tinto 2024. The first red wine from this new Atlantic project by Comando G and Javier Alén.

Purely Atlantic in style, with only 11% alcohol. Very refined and mineral.

The "basic" wine from Algueira. Its amin characteristics are drinkability, juiciness, but also typicity and minerality. This type of wine is juicier than most of El Bierzo's Mencias.

Pizarra is the estate’s flagship cuvée, made from Mencía. It is the most mineral-driven Mencía in our range, with a distinctly Atlantic character.

This Merenzao (also called Bastardo in other regions of Spain, and Trousseau in the Jura), has always been considered as the most refined wine of the estate. It is very original; elegant and light coloured. For those who like finesse.

A bright, sparkling red colour. The first nose is a little restrained, but after swirling it reveals lovely fruity, mineral notes that are very faithful to their terroir.

This latest addition to the Castro Candaz range was first produced in 2018. It is the only Mencía made from grapes sourced from several vineyards, both in the northern Chantada area and in the Bibei area of Ribeira Sacra. Pure Mencía fruit!

This cuvée is the entry level wine of the finca, part of the "vinos elegantes" project by Raúl Perez and Rodri Méndez. The grapes come from 45 to 70 year-old vines, mainly Mencia, but also Alicante and Bastardo. The vines are located in La Chantada, at the Northern tip of the Ribeira Sacra, mainly on granite soils.
