Bodegas Gerardo Méndez (Do Ferreiro)
Albariño from Val do Salnés
Do Ferreiro is the family estate of Gerardo Méndez, a pioneer of Albariño in Val do Salnés (Rías Baixas, Galicia). With historic parcels, low yields and manual harvesting, this estate translates Atlantic freshness, granite minerality and saline sea breeze into wines with energy, precision and terroir. In the cellar everything revolves around gentle pressing, fermentation with indigenous yeasts (or neutral where necessary), temperature control and sur-lie aging in stainless steel: pure fruit, tension and length are central.
