Benchmark Albariño from one of Galicia's most legendary growers. Gerardo Méndez has farmed the family's vineyards in Meaño, in the Salnés sub-zone of Rías Baixas, for decades, and his Do Ferreiro Albariño remains a reference point for the variety — even before you reach the famous old-vine Cepas Vellas bottling. The 2024 comes from estate vines of varying ages, hand-harvested and fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel, then rested on lees to build texture without obscuring the salt-spray clarity of the Atlantic. Expect lemon zest, white peach, green apple and white flowers, with a saline, almost oyster-shell finish that gives the wine its sense of place. Pure, vibrant and unmistakably Salnés — Albariño as it should be.
