Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2022 Falcoeira A Capilla comes from the field blend they planted in 45 terraces at 400 to 600 meters above sea level. It fermented with indigenous yeasts in a 3,000-liter oak vat and matured in a 2,000-liter oak foudre. It has very low alcohol, 12.5%, a pH of 3.9 and 4.54 grams of acidity. It started a little shy and closed but slowly opened in the glass to very elegant and fresh aromas. This is a vineyard that is showing better and better every year, showing the potential of the place. The wine has great complexity, and with patience, it opened up to very complex and subtle aromas. The palate is very fine-boned and elegant with silky tannins. This has to be the finest vintage for this wine so far. 2,975 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2024.

Description
Falcoeira A Capilla is a wine that faithfully represents an old and recovered vineyard that was the most valuable and recognised by the local winegrowers of the Bibei river area. It is an intense and deep wine, just like the place it comes from. The growing area is Ladeiras do Bibei(Valdeorras), in the village of Santa Cruz, in the area of Falcoeira. The grape varieties used include Mencía, Brancellao, Sousón, Garnacha Tintorera and others. The vineyard is organically farmed, with goblet pruning and manual harvesting in boxes. The soils are located between 400 and 600 metres above sea level, on narrow, steep terraces with steep south-facing slopes, acidic and coarse-textured, developed from granites (granodiorites).
Elaboration
The wine is made with indigenous yeasts in a 3,000-litre wooden vat and aged in a 2,000-litre oak foudre.
Taste
Falcoeira A Capilla stands out for having a nose with notes of ripe berries, hints of soy sauce and iodine. On the palate, it is a juicy and tasty wine, rich in deep flavours and with a long and persistent finish. This wine has a fascinating bouquet of red wild berries and red wild flowers, with a meaty reduction and a fine touch of bitterness that give it a very special savoury flavour. It has an elegant underbush similar to that of a Pinot Noir and offers a long and linear taste experience.
