LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Sadness, work and hope for the future There is no other way to start this newsletter than with the emotional memory of the woman who was our first Vice President and a key player in the birth of our Company, María Concepción Fernández Puentes.

Her unexpected and all too early death has left the entire Terras Gauda family profoundly shocked and dismayed. The Board of Directors has unanimously decided to include in the minutes of the meeting held last November some brief biographical notes that also explain very concisely the history of our Company.

I think that it is good to include them in this newsletter, because we understand that the shining light that has guided the life of our group of companies, albeit with new faces and adapting to the times, should continue to guide us philosophically and technically, in order to explain the how and why of what has already begun to be a long business corporate history..

With that in mind, two sentiments that also arise with regard to the forced resignation of our Board Member Antón Costas Comesaña, who with his presence contributed so much and in so many ways to our company.

He is missing in body, but not in spirit and we are immensely happy for his appointment as Chairman of the Economic and Social Council of Spain.

His capacity for analysis, his tolerance, economic-social philosophy and vast and more-than-proven knowledge, enshrined in his writings and teachings at the University of Barcelona, have been the basic pillars of the immense prestige he has earned in practically all of Spanish society.

We rest assured that this extremely important advisory body, under his leadership, will rigorously fulfill the constitutional mandate assigned to it.

Congratulations, Antón, on behalf of the entire "Terras” family!!

The future is guaranteed.

IN MEMORIAM

M

aría Concepción Fernández Puentes was the youngest daughter of Antonio Fernández López, a civil engineer, and brother of José, Manuel and Conchita. The latter was María Concepción’s godmother. Galician economy would have been drastically different from the last half of the past century without them.

Antonio was a businessman who loved Galicia from the bottom of his heart, and as a successful and model businessman, he dedicated his life to it. Frigsa, Zeltia, Cementos Oural, of which he served as its first President; followed by Cementos Cosmos, and Corporación Noroeste, among a long list of others, mark his dedication to our land, striving to meet what he and his siblings understood to be its needs.

His contact with the enlightened figures from the Misión Biológica Cruz Gallástegui, Rof Codina, Obella, Isidro Parga and many more, as well as his business contacts, culminated in an important cultural patronage.

Reflected by this are the Provincial Museum of Lugo and the Lugo Regional Government’s Galician Instrument Workshop-School, joined by Faustino Santalices.

He also helped finance the important historic work on vinyl records, recorded by him in the 1950s. He was also associated with the creation of Galaxia and was the creator of the Fingoi School, along with Professor Carballo Calero and other Galician enlightened scholars.

He was also the founder of the Granxa Barreiros, and institution attended by rural teachers from all over Galicia, in an effort to better educate their students. He benefited from the inestimable cooperation of Avelino Pousa Antelo and Valentín Arias.

Lover of biology and photography His youngest daughter, María Concepción Fernández Puentes, earned a degree in Biology from the University of Santiago de Compostela in the early 1970s.She deeply loved this science, almost as much as she loved photography. She specialized in slides, which were in her youth the ‘detail’ captured of an image or part of an image.

In 1976, she married her high school sweetheart, José María Fonseca Moretón, who by then was a senior technician at SEAF (Employment and Training Action Service), which became what today is known as the INEM 7

H

er passion for biology led her to work in the incipient stages of aquaculture in Spain in the area of marine cultures in companies affiliated with Pescanova, which in turn was linked to the Fernández family. It was founded by her uncle José.

There, in cooperation with other scientists, she conducted tremendous research work over many years on microalgae, food and cultures with shrimp and other species.

Shortly before her retirement, this was followed by work primarily on turbot farming, a labor she always balanced with her dedication to Terras Gauda.

In the early 80s, alongside José, her husband, and with the cooperation of some friends, relatives, “restless” winegrowers from O Rosal and with the support of the Xantares Group and Sodiga, together they planted the seed of what today is the Terras Gauda Group. There were two different companies: Viñedos do Rosal and Adegas das Eiras.

LThe first would plant 60 hectares of communal land. The second would take charge of the marketing and attributed added value to Abadía de San Campio (Albariño) and

Terras Gauda wines, the genuine wine from O Rosal. Based on Albariño, it incorporated the best tradition of O Rosal by also including Caíño Blanco, Loureiro and a small amount of Treixadura grapes.

This had such an impact on Terras Gauda’s market that in a few short years, a merger became necessary between the two companies, forming Terras Gauda S.A. María Concepción, by unanimous agreement of all partners, was appointed Vice President upon the founding of the company.

This was accompanied by Pittacum (El Bierzo) and Quinta Sardonia (Sardón de Duero, on the so-called “golden mile”) wineries. It also purchased Galicia’s oldest vegetable cannery, A Rosaleira.

Like her father, she deeply loved Galicia, and showered love, affection, tolerance, kindness, elegance With María Concepción as Vice and above all, peace and tranquility President, Terras Gauda began with on all those around her. a production of 37,500 bottles, and today it markets over 2.3 million in Today, her children Carmen and 60 different markets.
