Winemaker Notes:
Do Ferreiro Albariño is a blend of the best fruit from different zones and terroirs within the Sálnes Valley and it is the wine that defines the winery. It is serious and balanced, complex and very complete with fully developed aromas and flavors, with a long, harmonious palate featuring vibrant acidity and a strong mineral, stony component. Do Ferreiro is a very dry, varietally correct wine that is really representative of the Salnés Valley terruño. Expressive and harmonious, combining power and freshness; Do Ferreiro Albariño is capable of developing in bottle for 10 years or more.
Ratings and Reviews
94 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
When I tasted this wine in mid-June, the nose of the 2024 Albariño was still too closed and a little reductive to show its true colors, but it was in the palate where I could see the harmony and balance of the year, a year with purity and elegance, with a perfect balance between alcohol and ripeness and freshness and acidity, with textbook parameters for good development of aromatics and flavors while keeping the spark from the granite soils. It's very Salnés. Some 90,000 bottles will be produced, but some wine is still to be bottled and kept with the fine lees in stainless steel.
94 Points - Tim Atkin, MW:
"The Mendéz family's textbook Albariño uses grapes from a mind-boggling 164 small parcels in the Val do Salnés villages of Cambados, Castrelo, Meaño, Ribadumia and Sanxenxo. The kind of wine that makes you long for a plate of fresh seafood, it's racy, pure and superbly balanced, all citrus, lime and wet stones and impressive palate length. 2025-2032. (2025)."
91 Points - Jeb Dunnuck:
"One of the standard-bearers of the appellation, the 2024 Albariño Do Ferreiro is also the producer’s flagship wine, blended from 164 plots over several hectares across the Val Do Salnés, the most important and historic subzone of Rias Baixas. Light-bodied, it offers sublime lemony and tangerine flavor and a grippy texture kept fresh and nervy from the lovely acidity. It’s a beautifully balanced wine that will continue to drink well another 6-8 years. Better known as DO Ferreiro, this is a family-run business that highlights the Val Do Salnes with the goal of making food-friendly wines. (Drink between 2026-2034) - Virginie Boone (Jan 2026)
