A fine opportunity to taste the wine of José Luis Mateo, one of Galicia’s top viticulturists. He’s not as famous as he should be – seek out the full range of his wines at Quinta da Muradella. Candea is great value and gives a real flavour of Galicia’s most southerly DO. It’s a juicy, flavoursome, likeable blend. Perhaps a little rough and ready, but nevertheless enjoyable for all that.
