FORJAS DEL SALNES

White Wine

Forjas del Salnes, Albariño 'Leirana' 2021

Place: Rias Baixas, Spain

Grape: Albariño

Vibe: Classic, textural

Electric coastal juice! Faith restored in Albariño. About half of this wine spends time in old foudre to add some roundness to what's otherwise the liquid definition of high acid. This is astoundingly good drinking. ABV: 13%

Regular price £29.55

Taxes included

In the ‘70s, when Rías Baixas producers were pulling up their red grape vines to make room for the more fashionable Albariño, the Méndez family were doing the opposite. They doubled down on planting traditional Galician varieties like Caiño, Espadiero and Loureiro Tinto to try and preserve the heritage of the area. Forjas del Salnes began in in a garage in 2005 and comprises just 7.5 hectares of vines, in the villages of Meaño, Sanxenxo and Barro. Their elegant, ethereal reds are a delicious anomaly in a landscape dominated by white wine.
