2023 Do Ferreiro Rias Baixas Albarino, 750ml

Do Ferreiro is basically the gold standard for Albariño in Rías Baixas. They farm over 175 tiny hand-tended plots in the Salnés Valley—the sweet spot for Albariño thanks to its ocean breezes, granite soils, and perfect climate. Everything’s done the hard way (by hand, native yeasts, no blending, no tricks), and it shows. Their flagship Albariño is bright, mineral, and seriously elegant—packed with citrus and stone fruit, zippy acidity, and a salty edge that screams “Atlantic.” It’s the kind of white that’s both refreshing now and impressive enough to age for a decade or more.
