Terras do Sur is a small, family-run winery located in the Condado do Tea subzone of Rías Baixas, in the town of Crecente—right next to DO Ribeiro. It was founded in 2016 by Jose ‘Pepe’ Canda Gil, a fourth-generation grower whose family traditionally made wine for local sale and personal use. Pepe manages 23 small vineyard parcels spread across six parishes, cultivating primarily Albariño and Brancellao.
