Fedellos Do Couto Conasbrancas 2022
HK$ 269.86
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The very cloudy barrel fermented and aged white 2022 Conasbrancas was produced with the grapes from a number of field blends on both sides of the Bibei River, in Manzaneda and Larouco. It feels quite wild and raw but graceful and stylized. In 2021, they changed the way they produce this wine; they do a short maceration, and after three or four days, they press and ferment. This year, it's unusually cloudy because it was a year with lots of protein and they do not filter or clarify. But the wine is serious and vibrant, medium-bodied, with a moderate 12% alcohol, with very good freshness and great balance, despite coming from a very dry (more than warm) year, with a very short harvesting window. It feels quite different from previous years, and they feel it shows more the character; it has an austere stony sensation in the palate, naked, without the influence from the skins, keeping the verticality. Delicious and characterful. 10,000 bottles were produced. It was bottled in May 2023.

Description
Fedellos Do Couto Conasbrancas is a white wine defined as a fresh wine with imposing saline tones. It is a product of the treatment of grapes type Dona Branca and Godello in 85%, and the rest coming from vineyards of more than 60 years of antiquity.
It is defined as a fruity and juicy wine, which leaves in the mouth the subtlety that characterises its peculiar texture.
Elaboration
The Conasbrancas wine of the Fedellos Do Couto winery is made from the cultivation of different types of grapes, including Doña Branca and Godello.
After harvesting and ensuring that the grapes are at their optimum ripening point, they are subjected to an 80% vatting process, without destemming the fruit. After that, only 20% of the fruit is pressed and then fermented in barrels, using indigenous yeasts at a temperature of 18°C.
As for the maceration process, it must be for a minimum period of 30 days and then it is aged for 8 months in used French oak barrels and finally bottled.
Taste
Conasbrancas wine has a very particular saline taste, combined with hints of green fruits and citrus tones. Each sip leaves a dry effect on the palate, but with a medium acidity that is pleasant.
A wine with shallow aromas
The Conasbrancas wine is characterised by its faint aroma, but with an imposing flavour that will make you taste, more than a wine, an experience. It is a wine that you can pair with dishes that include white fish and smoked appetizers.
