General Information
Under the confluence of Atlantic and Mediterranean climates lie 2.3 hectares of vineyards, planted in 2005, at the Finca Cerrada Da Porta, in the Avia Valley (Ourense). These treixadura vineyards, cultivated on granite soils with sulcacos, give rise to the white wine Casa Da Porta 2022. A splendid ‘Ribeiro’ produced by Bodega Sanclodio, owned by Bodegas Familiares Matarromera.
Bodega Sanclodio exemplifies Carlos Moro's commitment to crafting quality wines in regions with the greatest potential on the national scene. The founder of Matarromera's goal in the D.O. Ribeiro is to produce white wines from native grapes distinguished by their elegance, subtlety, and freshness. Through his dedication, the entrepreneur has undoubtedly contributed to the international recognition of this Galician D.O.
The production of Casa Da Porta 2022 begins with the manual harvest of treixadura grapes, performing a meticulous selection on the terraces of the Avia Valley. This attention to detail is also practiced in the winery, where the wine undergoes a measured aging on fine lees and subsequent maturation in stainless steel tanks with periodic stirring. These winemaking techniques contribute to obtaining an expressive wine distinguished by its complexity.
Casa Da Porta (D.O. Ribeiro) is a highly versatile white wine that pairs with all kinds of mild and semi-cured cheeses, seafood, octopus, razor clams, and scallops. It also harmonizes with white fish such as sea bass, sea bream, or turbot.
Creators' opinion
Casa Da Porta exhibe un atractivo color amarillo pálido con reflejos limón. En nariz es complejo, frutal, con carácter salino y una buena intensidad. En boca es fresco, sabroso, con amplios matices de la variedad y final largo. Tiene un excelente equilibrio. Posteriormente aparece el carácter afrutado, maduro y complejo que ya percibíamos en nariz.
The winery
Bodega Sanclodio takes its name from the neighboring monastery, the nerve center of ancient Ribeiro, located in the heart of the Avia Valley. A historic winery whose origins date back to medieval times and was the birthplace of Ribeiro wine.
The winery, situated in Cubilledo, in the parish of Gomariz (Ourense), spans 8 hectares of land and includes a 16th-century manor house. This heritage was acquired by filmmaker José Luis Cuerda in 2002 with the determination to embark on a project dedicated to recovering the ancestral native varieties of Ribeiro.
To achieve this, the filmmaker surrounded himself with a great team and began cultivating traditional grape varieties on the mountainous slopes of the Avia Valley. On terraces over granite soils, vines of treixadura, godello, loureira, caíño blanco, and albariño emerged, cultivated using traditional farming techniques with the goal of producing high-quality wines, with concentration and strong expressiveness, reflecting the unique character of their terroir.
After the passing of the great Spanish director in 2020, the winery is now under the leadership of renowned businessman Carlos Moro, president of Bodegas Familiares Matarromera. A new chapter has begun, without forgetting its origins and the remarkable legacy of the director, screenwriter, and producer from Albacete.
The lands of the D.O. Ribeiro are inevitably influenced by the peninsular Mediterranean character and the maritime profile of the Atlantic. There is a unique interrelation between the two, complemented by a special microclimate found in the Avia Valley itself. These particularities are reflected in the wines of Sanclodio and their production process: grapes ripened slowly to preserve their natural freshness and aromatic profile.
The winery produces wines from the free-run juice obtained through low-pressure pneumatic pressing. The must ferments at a controlled temperature of 16ºC in stainless steel tanks for 15 days until the process is complete. Subsequently, the wine usually rests in contact with its fine lees to maximize its aromatic component, structure, complexity, and aging potential. Finally
