FORJAS DEL SALNES LEIRANA ALBARINO 2023

Style: Rocks & Minerals

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¿ 'Leirana' Albarino is a corner stone of our portfolio. It's produced from multiple parcels across the Salnes Valley, with a combination of granitic and sandy soils in an effort to reflect the character of the vintage across the entire Salnes zone. Partial stainless steel, partial old oak fermentation and ageing.  Year in, year out, Leirana is a one of the first wines on our wine lists and into our cellars. It's mixture of coastal, brine, oyster shell flavours, pure acidity and faint touches of primary fruit all backed by a touch of texture and savoury element push it closer to the world of Chablis than most of the Albarino we come across.
