2023 Do Ferreiro Albarino [WA93]

Producer: Do Ferreiro Region: Rias Baixas, Spain Varietal: Albarino Year: 2023  Wine Advocate, 93 Points  "The young and tender 2022 Albariño is the blend of the grapes from 165 plots in the Salnés, fermented with a pied de cuve from the old vines, fermented in stainless steel and matured with lees. It has a balsamic nose with notes of grass and bay leaf, a round palate with pungent flavors and good acidity. It's clean and varietal, reflecting a warmer year."  Winemaker Notes:  "Do Ferreiro Albariño is a blend of the best fruit from different zones and terroirs within the Sálnes Valley and it is the wine that defines the winery. It is serious and balanced, complex and very complete with fully developed aromas and flavors, with a long, harmonious palate featuring vibrant acidity and a strong mineral, stony component. Do Ferreiro is a very dry, varietally correct wine that is really representative of the Salnés Valley terruño. Expressive and harmonious, combining power and freshness
