FORJAS DEL SALNES FINCA GENOVEVA ALBARINO 2022

Style: Savoury & Detailed

Forjas del Salnés is the winery of Rodrigo Méndez, whose family has a long and proud viticultural history in the Rías Baixas. Rodrigo has consistently produced some of the finest Albariños of the region, especially from the beautiful, hundred-year-old Finca Genoveva vineyard, but it¿s the unusual red varietals that seem to be the soul of the project. ALIMENTARIA IMPORTER

Forjas del Salnés¿ Finca Genoveva Albariño is produced from a single vineyard of ancient pergola trained vines, a few of which date back to the founding of the estate some 180 years ago. It¿s fermented in old, open topped foudre with indigenous yeasts, then kept on lees without racking or batonage a year. The wine is piercingly acidic and will age brilliantly. It shows almost none of the tropical fruit flavours thought to characterise Albariño; instead, it¿s steely, mineral, briny and full of grapefruit notes that finish with a tang of sea salt.
