Avaliação dos peritos

The Wine Advocate:

The 2024 Leirana, which represents the character of the Salnés Valley through different vineyards and locations in a fresh and Atlantic way, is the intro to the 2024 vintage, a year with good ripeness. The wine reached 13.4% alcohol, meaning full development of aromas and flavors, while keeping notable acidity and freshness, showcased by a pH of 3.23 and 7.8 grams of acidity. The nose is harmonious and young but quite expressive of freshly cut grass, flowers and sea breeze. The destemmed grapes were pressed, then the juice was left to settle and ferment with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel (20%) and oak foudres, and then it matured for eight months. It has an intense and pungent palate with granite minerality, a fine thread of acidity going through its core and with a salty twist in the finish. This year, it has a little bit more of everything. It was bottled in June 2025, a mere few days before I tasted it, yet the wine felt relaxed. 60,000 bottles produced. (Luis Gutiérrez)

Tim Atkin:

Produced in what Rodri Méndez calls a "great vintage", this Albariño is almost ludicrously good at the price. Made with raw material from 30 parcels in Meaño, Meix, Ribadumia and Sanxenxo, it has some subtle wood from ageing in foudres, layers of beeswax, cream and fresh bread, pithy acidity and a mouth-watering, citrus-driven finish. 2025-31
