Product info
O Pradiño is named after the parcel from which the wine originates, in O Vinquiño (Sanxenxo). The vineyard was completely replanted in 2012 using cuttings from some of the more than century-old vines that were still present on this site. The vineyard lies very close to the sea and consists of decomposed granite and sand soils, with gneiss. In total, there are 1,600 vines, with an annual production of around 700 bottles. Our most mineral Albariño!
Vinification
Manual harvest. Fermentation in a 600-litre foudre, using only indigenous yeasts. Aged for 12 months in new oak barrels. No malolactic fermentation.
Storage potential
Drink as from : 2025

Trial analysis
Our most precise and tightly structured Albariño. Citrus and minerality on the nose and palate. A firm, focused attack with well-integrated oak. Reminiscent of the classic Albariños of the past. Very long finish with vibrant, incisive acidity.

Reviews
James Suckling (98/100)

Aromas of lemons, pie crust and a salty, minerally edge. Austere yet voluminous, incisive and saline, it shows a medium- to full-bodied structure, with an attractive interplay of freshness and nervy texture that drives the finish. This comes from a vineyard planted on decomposed gneiss soil in Sanxenxo. This wine should evolve beautifully with time in the bottle. Already drinkable.

R. Parker (95+/100)

The nose of the 2022 Leirana O Pradiño is very expressive and complex, different, with notes of quince, smoke and citrus, and the palate is marked by the soils, beautifully textured, tasty and long, with great balance, a little more volume and a harmonious finish. It comes from a single vineyard in the village of Sanxenxo. The wine matured for 12 months in a 600-liter barrel. 750 bottles were produced.

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.
