Do Ferreiro's Rias Baixas, Albariño has established itself as one of the best if not the best entry level Albariños in Spain and the world. Despite its entry-level price this wine is born of details reserved for much more expensive wines. The winery farms organically and hand harvests over 175 vineyard plots in the Salnés subzone. Even though this wine receives the younger vines of the estate we're still talking 20 years at the youngest. The oldest, are upwards of 120 years old! Profound. After harvest, the wine is fermented using a pied de cuvée technique that's in essence like a sour dough starter. Do Ferreiro uses grapes from their oldest vines more than 200 years old(!) to spark the fermentation in this wine. Fermentation happens in stainless steel followed by a 6-9mo aging process on the lees (no stirring) in stainless steel.
