Forjas del Salnés - spanish wines

A very pure Albariño, made from old vines (50 year-old) on granite-sand sols, juste above sea level. Production: only 2500 bottles.

Vineyard of around 60 years old, located close to the sea. A Telleira is the warmest vineyard of the estate and is particularly well suited to red grape varieties. Very limited production of around 600 bottles.

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).

This wine was made for the first time in 2017. It is unique, as Rodri is the only one to make a single vineyard wine won this exceptional terroir: a 100 year-old vine planted on 3 metres of sans, 50 metres from the seaside at Arra, in Montalvo-Sanxenxo. Unique indeed. Only 600 bottles produced.

One of our best Albariños, made from the grapes of a 180 year-old pre-phylloxeric vine . Impressive wine. Production: 5.000 bottles only.

In addition to the white Finca Genoveva, Rodri has also been making a red since 2017. Mainly from old-vine Caíño. It shows a truly Atlantic character with impressive depth. A wine that can stand alongside the great reds of the Loire.

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!
