About this wine

Made from 100% Albariño from old vines on granitic and sandy soils close to the Atlantic, Leirana is the core wine of Forjas del Salnés and winemaker Rodrigo Méndez. The 2024 vintage shows the hallmark combination of lime, green apple and sea breeze over a lean, mineral frame. The wine is fermented with native yeasts and matured mostly in stainless steel on its lees, with little to no new oak, keeping it chiselled and pure. It’s a reference point for terroir-driven Rías Baixas.

Tasting Note

Luis Gutiérrez (WA) calls Leirana 2024 a textbook Salnés Albariño: sharp and vertical, with citrus and green apple, subtle white flowers and a strong granitic and saline echo on the finish.

In the glass

Pale lemon-green, very bright.

In the nose

Lime zest, green apple, white flowers and a marked sea-spray, wet-granite character.

On the palate

Taut and linear, with zesty citrus, mouth-watering acidity and a long, salty, slightly bitter-pith finish.

Forjas del Salné

Forjas del Salnés, founded by Rodrigo Méndez with help from Raúl Pérez, focuses on old-vine Albariño and traditional red varieties in the Salnés valley. Many vines are ungrafted and close to the Atlantic, yielding intensely saline, textural whites and delicate, herbal reds. The style is artisanal and low-intervention, highlighting the coastal, granite terroirs of classic Rías Baixas.
