2023 Pedro Mendez Albariño

Producer: Pedro Mendez Region: Rias Baixas, Spain Varietal: Albariño Year: 2023  About the Producer:  "Cousin of local viticultural legend, Rodrigo Méndez, Pedro Méndez wears two hats with full-time work in his family’s vineyards and their restaurant during the summer. Located in the Val do Salnés subzone of Galicia’s Rías Baixas, he has medium-aged vines and pre-phylloxera Albariño vines that are nearly two-hundred years old that look more like trees. These ancient plants fill his full-bodied Albariños with structure and a pure citrusy, salty, minerally, high acidity power that only Albariño possesses. He also makes a compelling range of red wines with Mencía and Caíño."  Alcohol: 12.5%   *Price and availability in store may vary. Vintage date may differ from pictured.
