Benchmark Albariño from one of Galicia's most legendary growers. Gerardo Méndez has farmed the family's vineyards in Meaño, in the Salnés sub-zone of Rías Baixas, for decades, and his Do Ferreiro Albariño remains a reference point for the variety — even before you reach the famous old-vine Cepas Vellas bottling. The 2024 comes from estate vines of varying ages, hand-harvested and fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel, then rested on lees to build texture without obscuring the salt-spray clarity of the Atlantic. Expect lemon zest, white peach, green apple and white flowers, with a saline, almost oyster-shell finish that gives the wine its sense of place. Pure, vibrant and unmistakably Salnés — Albariño as it should be.

"The 2023 Albariño, which represents their take of the vintage, was produced with grapes from 165 hectares of the 14 hectares they own. It goes back to the alcoholic degree of 2021, 12.5%, compared with the 13.5% of 2022. 2023 seems to be somewhere in between those two previous vintages: cooler and with a better distribution of rain than in 2022 but with warmer temperatures than 2021 The wine is still very young and primary, a little reductive even, with a balsamic hint that should go away with a little more time in the bottle. This matures in stainless steel with lees until it's bottled. It has varietal notes of white flowers and grass. It's fresh and balanced, light to medium-bodied, easy to drink, sapid and tasty, with an almost salty twist in the finish despite its young age. It has a pH of 3.2 after going through full malolactic. There will be around 95,000 bottles, but not all the wine has been bottled yet, kept in stainless steel with the lees and the natural carbonic gas. The bottle I tasted was bottled in May 2024, but all bottles have the bottling date on the back label." —Luis Gutiérrez

More about Do Ferreiro

A hand-farming obsession in the Rías Baixas. The team manages over 175 tiny plots of albariño planted on steep terrain, each parcel tended individually. The result is mineral-driven, expressive wine that tastes like the sea breeze and granitic soils it comes from. This is what happens when people refuse to scale up in the name of efficiency.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Atlantic at the table: raw oysters, clams, octopus a la gallega, grilled sardines, salt-cod brandade, shrimp scampi. Lovely with sushi, ceviche, fresh goat cheese and Spanish tortilla as well.

Tasting Profile

Lemon zest, white peach, green apple and white-flower aromas lead into a textured, lees-built palate with stone-fruit weight, juicy acidity and a saline, oyster-shell finish.
