Nanclares and Prieto
Nanclares y Prieto is one of the most recognized projects in the new Galician winemaking scene. Its history began in the 1990s, when Alberto Nanclares, originally an economist in Madrid, moved to Galicia driven by his connection to the sea and sailing. Little by little, he began working the vineyards surrounding his home in Castrelo and, in 1997, transformed his garage into a small winery.
Over time, Alberto incorporated new plots and consolidated a winemaking approach based on manual labor, vineyard observation, and respect for each vintage. In 2015, Silvia Prieto, an oenologist with whom he shares a philosophy of minimal intervention in both the vineyard and the winery, joined the project.
Nanclares y Prieto work small plots in Galicia, with predominantly granitic and sandy soils, and some clay areas. Their approach seeks to express the identity of each vineyard through spontaneous fermentations, separate vinifications by plot, careful aging, and a moderate use of sulfites. Many of their wines are bottled unfiltered, preserving their texture, freshness, and natural character.
Among their wines, noteworthy are deep and age-worthy white references, such as O Fogar do Castriño, Pensares de Alberto, or Crisopa, alongside fresh and expressive Galician reds produced in areas of heroic viticulture, like Miñato da Raña or Penapedre.
Their work is characterized by the pursuit of precise, lively, and gastronomic wines, with a strong connection to the Galician landscape. These are small-production wines, crafted with artisanal sensitivity and intended for those seeking authentic, fresh, and unstandardized expressions.
At VinNatura, we select Nanclares y Prieto wines for their elegance, depth, and honest interpretation of Galicia: wines with tension, texture, Atlantic freshness, and an identity deeply linked to the vineyard.
Transparency Note
Each Nanclares y Prieto wine retains its corresponding classification. When a reference is covered by a D.O.P. or I.G.P., it is explicitly indicated in its product sheet. Otherwise, it is presented as a small-production Galician wine, without attributing a protected designation when it does not apply.
