About Fulcro A Cesteira

Although transitioning from banking to viticulture must be challenging, it is undoubtedly rewarding. Manuel Moles, known as Chicho to his friends, decided in 2009 to make a significant change in his life and devote all his energies to his great passion. A garage project focused on producing fresh terroir wines from the Salnés Valley in Rías Baixas, under the name Fulcro, where quality is prioritized over quantity (no more than 30,000 bottles). To achieve this, he is committed to showcasing the maximum expression of the terroir, meticulously studying the soils and their composition, and working with minimal intervention.

With a rigorous approach to parcel selection and vineyards in various estates, he presents Finca A Cesteiro, an albariño from a very peculiar soil where granite ends and schist begins. Vines over 45 years old are cultivated respectfully and harvested by hand at the optimal ripeness. In the winery, the selected and destemmed grapes undergo fermentation with native yeasts in stainless steel tanks. Afterwards, the wine ages for 8 months in 500-litre French oak barrels.

Reflecting the unique identity of a very special vineyard, Fulcro A Cesteira is a precise, elegant, balanced, and above all, incredibly fresh white wine. This expertise has made this former economist one of the undisputed leading viticulturists of Salnés.
