Manuel Mendez from Rías Baixas

Manuel Mendez is the talented winemaker of Finca Os Cobatos, which we import. He owns approximately 18 hectares of vineyards in the beautiful Monterrei wine region. Due to the generally high humidity and relative coolness, the climatic conditions in Rías Baixas are not always favorable.

The pergola system, still frequently used in the vineyard, also ensures a high yield. Combined, this often leads to insufficient grape ripeness, resulting in mediocre quality. However, by pruning efficiently and converting the traditional pergola into modern tethered vines, quality can improve dramatically.

In this way, Manuel Mendez achieves more sunlight and aeration in his vineyard, and the result is accordingly impressive. Moreover, the granite-rich soil ensures a naturally low acidity in the grapes. The result: a unique white wine with juiciness and elegance! It is no coincidence that dry white Albariño of this caliber is highly prized in Spanish gastronomy.

Rías Baixas, with its fine white wines made from the Albariño grape, holds an almost unassailable reputation as one of the best wine regions in Spain. The cool and humid region near the Atlantic Ocean in Galicia produces crisp white wines. These stood out particularly in the past, when other Spanish white wines typically had an oxidative and unexciting character. This situation has since changed, but Rías Baixas retains a unique position with the production of refined, high-quality white wine. This wine typically has a modest alcohol content and a subtle balance between freshness and ripeness.
