From the coastal vineyards of Rías Baixas, this 2016 Albariño from Do Ferreiro captures the essence of the region’s maritime influence. With its bright citrus, green apple, and mineral backbone, it’s a wine that showcases both freshness and depth.

The nose is bursting with lemon, lime, and green apple aromas, along with a subtle floral note and a hint of wet stone that speaks to the minerality of the soil. On the palate, it’s crisp and clean, with lively acidity that highlights the freshness of the fruit. The wine’s mineral quality adds a layer of complexity, while the finish is long and refreshing, leaving a citrusy note that lingers.

This Albariño pairs wonderfully with seafood, shellfish, or light salads, making it an excellent choice for summer meals or as an aperitif. While enjoyable now, the wine’s structure suggests it will continue to evolve and reveal more layers of complexity with time.

"Brilliant, green-hued straw. Bright and incisive on the highly perfumed nose displaying an array of fresh citrus and orchard fruit scents that are complemented by suggestions of chalky minerals, quinine and sea salt. Dry, taut and precise on the palate, offering bitter lemon pith and pear skin flavors that unfold slowly while maintaining urgency. Finishes with impressive clarity and mineral drive, leaving juicy Meyer lemon and quince notes behind." -Josh Raynolds

"The Méndez family consider 2016 a vintage with some similarities with 2011. I tasted their regular 2016 Albariño, which is produced from a mix of grapes from the 164 plots of vines they work, adding diversity of soils, mostly granite and sand but also red slate, and expositions in the villages of Meaño, Adina, Sisán, Castelo and Leiro. The grapes were picked in five days, starting on September 17th. All wines fermented with a "pied de cuve" from the Cepas Vellas, which fermented the juice from the destemmed grapes. The wine is kept with fine lees for a period of time that can range between four and up to 11 months. It has a fresh and balanced nose, with notes of good freshness—quite striking for a warmish year—with citrus notes intermixed with hints of white flowers and fruit. It's a more powerful year, with 13.5% alcohol, but has great acidity and freshness. The palate is focused and delineated, with great purity and very tasty flavors. It has great mid-palate and concentration. A surprise. It's one of the finest young Do Ferreiros I remember." -Luis Gutiérrez

"What a penetrating wine! The freshness is at its peak providing a lively profile. The wine is full of energy showing a vertical cutting edge and a bitter finish accompanied by a voluminous texture. This is a magnificent wine showing kerosene, sweet lemon, spice, yellow plums and pears. I love the firm richness it has."
