The 2023 Conasbrancas was produced with the grapes from individual white vines in a number of field blends on both sides of the Bibei River, in Manzaneda and Larouco. They harvested the grapes in August and early September, did a short maceration and achieved a light and gracious white with under 12% alcohol and very good freshness and acidity. They are moving toward larger volumes, and in this 2023, they used two new Garbelotto 2,000-liter oak foudres. It has notes of wild herbs, yellow fruit, pollen and some pungent notes (Curro said it reminds him of white truffles!). It’s tasty, light and characterful, with a strong mineral sensation. 12,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2024.

Country

Spain

Ever since the Phoenicians and Romans brought their knowledge of vine cultivation to Spanish soils, the country's culture has grown alongside wine production, with wine being a vital part of Spanish identity and Spanish traditions. Each region of Spain has a wine quite distinct from the others, and it is produced by smallholders and families as much as it is by large companies and established wineries. From the relatively mild and lush regions of La Rioja to the arid plateaus that surround Madrid, grapes are grown in abundance for the now booming Spanish wine industry, and new laws and regulations have recently been put in place to keep the country's standards high. By combining traditional practices with modern technology, Spanish wineries are continuing to produce distinctive wines of great character, flavor and aroma, with the focus shifting in recent decades to quality over quantity.

Region

Galicia

The northern Spanish wine region of Galicia is a fascinating one indeed, and is most definitely a wine region to keep your eye on today and in the near future. Once an important center of viticulture and wine trade, Galicia suffered from a huge and devastating economic depression in the 19th century, leaving many of the vineyards untended and useless. However, the 20th century saw various organizations pour money into Galician wine making, thus rebooting the wine industry of this relative wet and windy region on the Atlantic coast. Today, the region is being celebrated for its superb and flavorful blended white wines, made from native grape varietals such as Albarino and Caino Blanca, and is continuing to rebuild itself and regain former glories.
