Fedellos do Couto Bastarda comes from Merenzado vines, about 15-70 years old, and planted on slate soils. Fermentation is carried out with the entire grapes (without destemming them) in stainless steel tanks with their own yeasts and a very gentle maceration. The wine is then decanted into French oak barrels where it stays for 12 months.
Fedellos was started in 2013 by Luis Taboada and winemakers Curro Barreño and Jesús Olivares. Couto refers to the 12th-century manor at the heart of the vineyards, which has been in Luis' family for generations and now serves as the base for the winery. They farm organically and work their vineyards by hand. You couldn't do otherwise on the terraces that hug the steep valleys of the rivers Sil and Bibei in Ribeira Sacra. These rivers have moulded the breathtaking landscape in North West Spain, carving out vast canyons and vertiginous valleys.
