Trial analysis
Very complex nose with a mineral impression. Slightly fuller onset than we are used to from Albariño, but this is followed by enormous tension and energy, tingling acids that give the wine tremendous length.

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.
