Curro Barreño and Jesús Olivares will be better known in the UK as the founders of Fedellos de Couto, the label under which they produce some of the most sought after Ribeira Sacra. This project sees a return to home roots and wines produced from some of the most spectacular vineyards in the Sierra de Gredos. Here, located in San Martín de Valdeiglesias in the foothills of the Sierra de Gredos. The altitude, granitic sandy soil and ancient vines, collude to produce some of the freshest and appealing wines made from Grenache in Spain. These factors, allied to the pair’s undoubted skill and preservation of nature within the vines and cellar, serve to make this one of the most exciting new Spanish agencies, and we are thrilled to introduce them to the UK market. The estate has 20 hectares of 30-80 year old vines which are cultivated organically and include Garnacha, Albillo and Moscatel. Much of the vineyard land is under recovery and this is being undertaken slowly to ensure the old vines have a chance to recover, rather than replanting. It is a continental climate, with altitudes between 700 and 850 metres asl and annual average at rainfall 600 mm and annual average temperature 13,7 º C. Wine making is along the minimal intervention path, indigenous yeasts, cold smooth macerations and the use of whole brunches.

Valautin is a ‘village’ Albillo from San Martín de Valdeiglesias, 100% Albillo Real. Planted over decomposed granite and quartz in bush vine formation at 650mtr above sea level. The fruit is harvested in small cases and pressed in a basket press to enhance texture. The must is fermented in 50% barrel (french and 2-3 years) and 50% concrete, both on lees. the wine is bottled in late summer. The wine has honey and new leather notes, wild herb and a steeped citrus twang, with a lively, pure palate broad in flavour and long in finish.
