Ernesto Rodriguez is a Catholic priest who has been working in the family vineyards since he was a child. Crego e Monaguillo, which, in Gallician means 'priest and altar boy', is owned and operated by Ernesto and his nephew, also called Ernesto. They are one of the smallest producers in Spain, but have gained a fantastic reputation thanks to a combination of excellent soils and careful work in the vineyard.

Crego e Monaguillo is made with Godello (85%) and Treixadura (15%), both indigenous grapes not really seen outside the area. Monterrei Appellation is characterized by having a mild Mediterranean climate with a continental trend, influenced by the Atlantic Ocean.

For this reason, Monterrei has a special microclimate of hot, dry summers and cold winters, providing considerable fluctuations in temperature of up to 30 degrees during the ripening season. The evidence of this is in the wonderful, ripe and richly aromatic nose of this wine.
