Albariño from Val do Salnés, Rìas Baixas
The textbook 2023 Leirana is elegant, clean and expressive, with notes of white flowers and fruit, fine lees and herbs. It fermented and matured in stainless steel and 80% in oak foudres for six months. The palate is medium-bodied with good ripeness and a moderate 12.4% alcohol, keeping the freshness and balance and finishing with a bitter and salty twist.Luis Gutiérrez, The Wine Advocate 94 Points
Albariño from Val do Salnés, Rìas Baixas
The 2024 Albariño is from Padrenda in Meaño, Salnés, Rías Baixas. This aged on lees. It offers delicate notes of subtle aging and orange blossom, with gentle lime, a hint of orange and white fruit such as pear and green apple. This is expressive, with a fine, oily texture and an elegant palate. Joaquin Hidalgo, Vinous 93 PointsThe nose of the 2024 Zarate shows something savory, with a clear influence from the sea breeze and an almost salty twist in the finish. This is, of course, t
Albariño from Val do Salnés, Rìas Baixas
The Finca Genoveva is showing more complexity on the nose at this early stage in its life compared with the ‘A Telleira’, I suspect it won’t be long before they sit on par.Providing the definition of high-quality super fine acid. Like the ‘A Telleira’ the mouthfeel gently laces your tongue with a sheer delicacy. The scent Gutiérez describes is here, I’d add a little lanolin to the mix.It carries through to the palate, wrapping the core of intriguing flavours with those citru

Simply delicious. Ridiculous for the coin. Citrus oils & ripe lemon juice from the kind of lemon you’d eat like an orange.Gutiérrez comment on development is interesting. I’d add that this is development pre-bottling as a winemaking choice. An approach that for mine offers more complete wine that has seen valuable exposure to oxygen that only help fruit of this quality harmonise and build complexity.Yes, there is a hint of straw & lanolin. It wraps a vibrant, energetic cor
Albariño from Val do Salnés, Rìas Baixas
The 2022 Leirana Finca Genoveva shows very complete, combining power and elegance, volume and length, roundness and freshness, with good ripeness, slightly higher alcohol (12.9%) and amazing freshness and acidity parameters (pH 3.12 and 8.08 grams of acidity). It should be long lived in bottle.Luis Gutiérrez, The Wine Advocate 96+ PointsExcellent! Long & fine with incredible mid-palate weight. Precise, saline & poised. A wine that will comfortable play with top end of 1er c
Albariño from Val do Salnés, Rìas Baixas
The 2022 Goliardo A Telleira shows lots of finesse. They changed the élevage here to 1,500-litre foudre, which they think works better for Albariño than barrels, no matter how big they are, and this wine clearly shows it. It has the finesse of the sandy soils and a polished texture (a little more sleek, a bit à la Chenin) but still lively and with pungent flavors.Luis Gutiérrez, The Wine Advocate 95+ PointsMy Note on the 2021: Simply delicious. Ridiculous for the coin. Citrus oil
Albariño from Val do Salnés, Rìas Baixas
170 year old pre-phylloxera vines.Skin contact and oxidative handling are beautifully balanced. Savoury and earthy with that Albariño fresh green herb hit. Fascinating to watch it freshen in the glass, bruised apple falls away & the fruit shines. A fine phenolic grip & spice from the skin contact add intrigue.Opens beautifully on both nose and palate over several hours, intensity builds & it flows gracefully. Keeps getting fresher, and fresher. A clear sign of quality f
