Leirana Albariño - Rías Baixas, Spain

GRAPE: 100% Albariño. Vines planted from 1952 - 1982. Tended in sandy and granite soil at 5m (16 ft) elevation

This is a wine that is unmistakably maritime. Using almost forgotten minimal-intervention techniques learned through generational viticultural knowledge, Rodri recreates the Albariño of yester year. This is a wine of power, elegance and salinity that can truly stand among the best white wines of the world. The salinity of Leirana makes it a natural pair for scallops, oysters and shellfish of all kinds, as well as the classic octopus dish, pulpo gallego.
