Leirana Albarino 2019 Bodegas Forjas del Salnes
Leirana Albarino 2019 is a white wine from Spain produced by Bodegas Forjas del Salnes. Leirana is made from 100% Albariño grapes that are part of the Rías Baixas appellation, the undisputed home of this grape variety. Forjas del Salnés is a small family winery that since 1995 has seen the collaboration of Rodrigo Méndez, a local expert, and Raúl Pérez, one of the most important oenologists in Spain, to create wines of great personality and very high quality. The grapes that make up this bottle come from 4 hectares of old vines, 40-70 years old, planted in sandy, granite soils. For this traditional production, the wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks. Once finished, the wine rests on its lees and is lightly filtered before being put on sale. Intense straw yellow in colour, it has a nose of white flowers, wild herbs and ripe fruit. The taste is fruity and tasty, fresh and well balanced.
