Reviews
R. Parker (96/100)

The 2021 Leirana O Pradiño is the second vintage of a different Albariño from a vineyard planted in 2012 in Sanxenxo on decomposed gneiss soils with a very fine sandy texture. It has 12.5% alcohol and more integrated acidity than the initial vintage. It's more civilized and polished, with notes of pollen and bay leaf, a hint of straw (which I found in many 2021 whites here), developing a note of gunpowder with time in the glass, and it has a long, tasty finish. It fermented and matured in a 600-liter barrel. 750 bottles were filled in August 2022.

Guía Peñin (94/100)

Wine estate

This is one of the smallest estates in Rias Baixas, but well known from the connoisseurs.
Since 2005, the current generation, with Rodri at the helm, has been making super whites but also great reds with a typical Atlantic and Galician accent.
Organic cultivation and vinification, minimal intervention. Definitely not wines for beginners.

Description

Rodri Méndez is one of the best producers of Albariño wines in Galicia. Leirana is his entry level wine, but also the perfect illustration of his style: non frills, crisp, and sharp. Rodri mainly works with older vines, and those are put into good use, in this wine as well as in his top range (the Goliardo line).

Description

The Elixir cuvée is the perfect symbiosis between two terroirs: the poor sandy soils of Chipiona and the limestones of Sanlucar. This is a quite aromatic wine, but also full of complexity and very long on the palate.
