Description

The Albariño Leirana Genoveva is a white wine produced by Forjas del Salnés in Galicia, in the Rías Baixas region, from Albarino grapes grown on exceptionally old vines, with more than 80% over 180 years old. The plants take root in granite soils and are cultivated at an altitude of 60 meters above sea level, following an artisanal approach that respects local tradition.

The harvest is carried out manually, followed by spontaneous fermentation in French oak barrels, without temperature control. The wine matures for 12 months in barrels, with an important period on the lees between the fifth and seventh month. No malolactic fermentation occurs, thus maintaining freshness and natural tension. The production is extremely limited.

On the nose, complex notes of white flowers, citrus, Mediterranean herbs, and wet stone emerge. The palate is vertical and savory, with a creamy texture given by contact with fine lees, a pronounced minerality, and a long, tense, saline finish.

It pairs perfectly with shellfish, fish tartare, or seafood-based pasta dishes.
