THE ART
OF
WINERIES

THE EIGHTH EDITION
OF TERRAS GAUDA'S
POSTER-DESIGN COMPETITION
CONFIRMS THE
EXCELLENT RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN WINE AND DESIGN

The Valencia artist Angel Luis González has won the first prize of 12,000 euros in the 8th Francisco Mantecón International Poster Design Competition, organised by the winery Terras Gauda. The jury, which included the top designer Pep Carrió, considered over 1,400 entries sent in from 45 countries. The winning poster will be used as the winery's corporate image for 2010.

This event organised by the well-known winemakers based in the O Rosal valley (D.O. Rías Baixas, Pontevedra) is part of the process of reaching-out by the Hispanic wine world towards the most diverse areas of social and cultural life in recent decades, in parallel with its increasing international recognition. Other examples of collaboration between artists and wineries include the Miquel Barceló's famous label for the Majorca red wine Ánima Negra, and the superb art collection of the Upper Aragonese winery, where oil paintings by leading contemporary artists such as Eduardo Chillida, Antonio Tàpies and Antonio Saura have been used to illustrate their range of wines over the years.

Outside Spain, one of the benchmarks for this tradition of patronage is the collection of labels that was begun in 1945 by Baron Philippe de Rothschild to celebrate the end of the Second World War, with works by some of the leading artists of the 20th century, including Braque, Dalí, Picasso, Bacon and Warhol.

Founded in 1990 under the name Adegas das Eiras and chaired to this day by José María Fonseca, the winery's first wine was the 1991 Abadía de San Campio (100 per cent Albariño). Shortly afterwards the winery's flagship brand was launched, the white Terras Gauda, which, besides Albariño, is made with the native Galician grape varieties Loureiro and Caíño Branco. Since their launch, the firm's wines have been very well received by critics both in Spain and abroad.

The Francisco Mantecón Competition, which was set up as a tribute to the artist (Vigo 1948-2001) responsible for the winery's first corporate image, is characterised by its extensive International reach and its prestige in design media the world over. The two runners-up this year, each winning 2,000 euros, were Julia Anne Luke from the United States and Robi Joeleht from Estonia. The Polish designer Dorota Cichon won a special mention from the jury. J.R. PEIRÓ

El «Francisco Mantecón», an annual Xacobeo

REPORT
Soledad Antón

Benchmark in graphic design.That's what the Francisco Mantecón Poster Design Competition has become in only eight years. The figures speak for themselves. In the first edition 70 posters were received, all from within Galicia, while the latest edition attracted 1,400 entries from 45 countries on all five continents.

Such a meteoric rise is not easy to explain. For the answer we must turn to the ship's pilot, José María Fonseca, and the team he has surrounded himself with, including María José Sánchez as the ideal co-pilot. Last Thursday, at the prize-giving ceremony, Terras Gauda's ability to attract the best was once again quite clear.

Some old stalwarts and many of the finalists were a bundle of nerves in case Fernando Ónega ("the winery's official chronicler", in the words of the Galician president) announced their name. But this was the highest concentration of politicians per squire metre that had ever been seen: Feijoo, Louro, Caballero, Molares, Porro, Roberto Varela, Domínguez, López, Figueroa, Méndez … «There are almost as many dignitaries here as there are posters,» was Ónega's opening remark.

Naturally the journalist, in his usual style (just as well!) had more witty barbs in store to entertain the crow at this special annual event. Especially because he makes sure that the dullness that blights so many events of this type is kept at bay. He referred to the recent arrivals of Obama and Feijoo to their respective presidential offices. "And with that the balance of world power is restored," he said.

Sustainable economics. Ónega left the irony to one side only when he asked those present, particularly those in public office, to open their eyes, because behind such an apparently social/leisure event "what there really is here is an example of sustainable economics. This is like a pilgrimage that is held once a year," he said.

The speaker who was quite serious from the very beginning of his speech was José María Fonseca. And, almost before he had finished his first sentence, he already had the room applauding. He said that even though he knew that many of those attending were not Galicians, he would speak in Galician, a language that some people tried to turn into a problem that did not exist, he said: "It's a perverse stab in the back that we must flee from."

He then spoke of the collective keenness to continue to strive for an appropriate scenario to show off the hundreds of original designs sent in from all over the world. Abel Caballero was the next to speak.

The most exciting part of the evening, just before the Valencia-born Ángel Luis González came up to the stage to receive his award and 10,000-euro cheque as the winner of the 2009 Francisco Mantecón competition, was the speech by Mantecón's widow, Pilar Barreiro: "For many years I've been digging into my memories looking for a fact or an anecdote to convey something of who you were to this audience... so that they can know something more about you than just your name".

The good thing about that search is that it has meant that Pilar has not just looked inside her own memories, but also in drawers, on shelves and in every corner where "Paco" Mantecón left his creative imprint, writings and notes. She found a whole wealth of material and, as she announced on Thursday, has now finally almost finished classifying it. It will soon be available on the Web: "Over the course of all your work during your short life, surfing through cyberspace, opening the eyes not only of those who are close to us but also to eyes far to the north and south, East and west, today and tomorrow, so that they will be able to be only a click away from discovering who the Francisco Mantecón who have his name to this poster competition really was."

After the speeches came an equally long-awaited part of the evening: animated conversation over a glass of wine. The many people seen chatting included Antonio Quesada, García Mañá, Teruca Conde Pumpido, Carmela Pousa, Manuel Buciños, María Xosé Queizán, Pedro Solveira, Merche Castro, César Cunqueiro, Manolo Rodríguez, Mercedes Méndez, Luis Espada, Manuel Sanjurjo … And, of course, Fonseca's band-mates.

Chairman of Bodegas Terras Gauda

"Art and wine almost always go well together"

The chairman of Bodegas Terras Gauda, José María Fonseca Moretón, to host the prize-giving ceremony for the Francisco Mantecón poster competition later today.

vigo
ANA BAENA

Born in Orense in 1950 and one of the first graduates in Economics at the University of Santiago de Compostela. A Ministry of Employment technician and financial advisor, he entered the wine world because of his interest, the fruit of his contacts with oenologists when he organised Job Centre vocational-training courses. He currently runs Bodegas Terras Gauda, a benchmark in winemaking in the Rías Baixas area and the organisers of one of the leading international poster-design competitions. At 8 o'clock this evening a ceremony will be held at Los Escudos, when the winners chosen by the jury headed by Fonseca Moretón will receive their prizes.

- What does it take to win this competition?

- It's not my decision, but rather depends on the jury. Still, in general terms, we are looking for two things: a high artistic and creative level, with a striking, impactful design. After all, these are advertising posters we're talking about.

- Do art and wine go well together?

- Almost always, yes. Countries in the Mediterranean arc of old Europe, where there is a winemaking tradition, have given birth to a great many artists. It is difficult to conceive of our culture without wine, and it has always gone hand in hand with art, even in the religious tradition.

- With the prestige that Albariño wines have now achieved, to they still need a poster to present them to the world?

- It can only ever be a good thing. The rest of the world has only discovered the qualities of Albariño and other leading native Galician strains relatively recently, compared with French or German grapes, which have a long history, in some cases without really deserving it. Some of our goals have been achieved, but we have to go further to turn these wines into a benchmark. Albariño still needs to make the jump to be accepted by the public at large.

"By becoming known abroad, some of our goals have been achieved, but Albariño still needs to make the jump to be accepted by the public at large"

- Despite such achievements as your "etiqueta negra", is it a struggle to make crianza matured wines with Galician grape varieties?

- Our "etiqueta negra" isn't really a crianza wine; it's fermented in new oak casks. For true crianza maturing, White wines of Albariño type still have a long way to go. Its great potential lies in the explosion of aromas and the freshness of the wines made without crianza techniques. We can become more sophisticated and ensure that its characteristics last longer in the bottle, but that's work that the oenologists will have to put their talents to. Progress has been made but to market it you have to maintain the quality throughout your entire production.

- And are red wines the next test for the sector in Galicia?

- It is something we lack, but it isn't easy. Although there's a huge amount of potential in Galicia with a wide variety of fine Straits, it's difficult to find a niche among the reds. But we are moving forward.

José María Moretón will be at the Francisco Mantecón prize-giving ceremony today.

Terras Gauda offers a showcase for the latest trends in graphic design

REPORT
Soledad Antón

The Francisco Mantecón competition is back. For the eighth consecutive year, Terras Gauda is offering a showcase for the latest trends in graphic design, in the form of its poster competition. The winery has been delighted to see the response growing every year, with the competition´s prestige growing both in Spain and abroad.

In all, 65,000 graphic designers from 180 countries have been invited to take part. Over 6,500 entries were received in previous editions of the event. Some entries were received from faraway places (Japan, United States, Singapore, Latvia and Australia), while others were from closer to home. But they have all tended to share one common denominator: quality and creativity. The jury is often spoiled for choice when it comes to selecting the best entries from such a strong showing.

The jury, chaired by José María Fonseca, found the task so hard that they ended up awarding two runners-up prizes. Given the avalanche of creativity received each year, after the last edition the organisers agreed to put on an exhibition of the 35 finalists. If the receipt of entries continues to increase exponentially, the exhibition will surely have to be extended. Only time will tell.

One early idea to promote the competition that paid off (it´s certainly well enough known today) was to bring in patrons of the stature of Javier Mariscal, Óscar Mariné and Manuel Estrada as leading designers to sit on the jury in previous editions. This year's star designer is Pep Carrió, whose trophy room is packed with awards. For example, the publishers Alfaguara use his images to illustrate their Collection of Mario Vargas Llosa´s works. He has also worked for the Ministry of Culture, the Bank of Spain and the Thyssen Collection.

Besides Fonseca and Pilar Barreiro, Francisco Mantecón´s widow, the only other fixed place on the jury corresponds to the previous year´s winner. This year the visitor to the Rosaleira winery (where the walls are lined with posters) will be the New York designer Taber Calderón, the most recent winner to receive the cheque for 10.000 euros. Although, to be accurate, he was really the first, because until 2008 the first prize was 6,000 euros

The deadline for entries is 30 September. For any queries about the competition, visit the winery´s website. Good luck!.
