Do Ferreiro is one of those producer names that gets quoted whenever anyone seriously discusses Albarino. Gerardo Mendez farms granitic plots across the Val do Salnes, the historic heart of Rias Baixas, and his standard bottling is blended from over 175 small parcels. The 2024 is classic Do Ferreiro: pale, taut, mineral, with citrus and stone-fruit lift and that briny tension that defines great Salnes Albarino. The kind of wine that explains why Albarino is one of the world's great white grapes when handled by someone who actually cares.
