Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2022 Candea Tinto, a light and fresh, approachable blend of different grapes, has a nose of strawberries and wild herbs, a medium-bodied palate with very fine tannins and a clean and fruit-driven finish, with a fine-grained texture. It has contained ripeness and 12.5% alcohol. It's delicious and so cheap!

Winemaking
Description
There are wines that take you straight to their land with the first sip, and Candea Tinto is one of them. It is like opening a window to Monterrei, that small and charming region of Galicia where the vines grow under the Atlantic breeze and the warm sun. José Luis Mateo, heart and soul of Quinta da Muradella, makes this wine with a clear philosophy: to respect the authenticity of the terroir and let nature work its magic.
Candea Tinto is a vibrant blend of Mencía, Bastardo, Garnacha Tintorera, Gran Negro, Mouratón and Arauxa (the local name for Tempranillo). Each grape contributes its character, weaving an aromatic profile where red fruits intertwine with delicate floral and herbal notes. The vines, planted at around 400-450 metres above sea level, sink their roots into poor soils, forcing them to strive for every drop of flavour.
Winemaking
The vinification of Candea Tinto is as natural as possible. Fermentation occurs spontaneously, without commercial yeasts, and about a third of the bunches are left whole to provide structure and freshness. The wine then rests in stainless steel and cement tanks, without going through wooden barrels. This keeps it pure, straightforward and without any make-up. It is bottled a year after the harvest, allowing time to play its part.
Taste
The first thing you taste when you taste Candea Tinto is an explosion of crunchy red fruits, as if you were biting into a cherry at just the right point of ripeness. Then come those floral notes and a subtle hint of wild herbs, as if you were strolling through the bush after a light rain. The palate is juicy, with well-balanced acidity and a fresh finish that invites another sip. Its alcohol is perfectly integrated, making it tremendously drinkable.
It is the kind of wine that you can open on any Tuesday and enjoy without complications, but also the kind of wine that surprises friends when you take it to a dinner party. Authentic, honest and with that Galician charm that never disappoints.
