About the Winery: This winery, founded in 1973, is currently run by Gerardo Méndez. He owns ten hectares, three of which are over fifty years old and one of which is over 200 years old. The vineyards follow organic guidelines, avoiding use of pesticides and non-organic fertilizers. Moreover, Méndez is meticulous in using indigenous yeasts with the belief that through their usage the true qualities of terruño (or terroir) will show.
Gerardo farms over 130 plots of Albariño, all which are located in the sub-zone of Salnès. The valley's proximity to the ocean and protected from the mountain ranges has gained the reputation for being the best area in Rías Baixas for viticulture. This region takes its name from the estuaries that flow into the lower parts of Galicia. These waterways create a very unique ecosystem that is full of life, both in the ocean and on the land. The soils range from decomposed granite to sand. Between the combination of the plots plus the distinct micro-climate, the Do Ferreiro Albariño has a noteworthy flavor profile.
About the Wine: This 2015 Do Ferreiro Rias Baixas Albariño uses traditional methods of vinification. One hundred percent destemmed and then fermented with indigenous yeasts in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks, winemaker Gerardo Méndez's painstaking attention to detail allows this juice to flourish. Terroir driven with distinguishing characteristics from the integration of the sea and the mountains gives the wine complex aromas with wet earth and herbal tones. The palate is textured with excellent acidity and a crisp freshness.
