The gold standard for Albariño — full stop.

Do Ferreiro is a small family winery in the historic heart of Spain's coastal Rías Baixas region. Gerardo Méndez was part of the original group of growers who elevated the region's potential, as he and his father Francisco were integral in forming the original denomination of origin Rías Baixas in 1988. 

They farm over 175 tiny plots of Albariño by hand, all located in the heart of the Salnés subzone — the valley's proximity to the ocean, ideal climate due to natural protection from mountain ranges, and decomposed granitic soil making it the ideal region for producing profound, terroir-driven Albariño capable of improving in bottle. Do Ferreiro does not blend other grape varieties into their wines, as is common in Rías Baixas. Farming is organic, and fermentations are carried out exclusively by native yeasts. 

The result is a serious, balanced, and complex wine — expressive and harmonious, combining power and freshness, with fully developed aromas, vibrant acidity, and a strong mineral, stony character capable of developing in bottle for 10 years or more. Tim Atkin MW describes it as "pithy, nuanced and poised, with laurel and wet stone aromas, lemongrass and green apple flavours and a salty undertone. Méndez magic." 

Seafood's perfect companion. Drink now or cellar with confidence.

"When I tasted this wine in mid-June, the nose of the 2024 Albariño was still too closed and a little reductive to show its true colors, but it was in the palate where I could see the harmony and balance of the year, a year with purity and elegance, with a perfect balance between alcohol and ripeness and freshness and acidity, with textbook parameters for good development of aromatics and flavors while keeping the spark from the granite soils. It's very Salnés. Some 90,000 bottles will be produced, but some wine is still to be bottled and kept with the fine lees in stainless steel."
