Albariño Do Ferreiro 2023
Descripción
Llamado así en homenaje al padre de Gerardo Méndez, herrero de profesión, este albariño es uno de los blancos más queridos y populares de la comarca. Una delicia de una pequeña bodega familiar que sorprende por su excepcional equilibrio, frescura y abanico aromático. La inmejorable tarjeta de presentación de la casa.

Opinión de los críticos
The 2023 Albariño, which represents their take of the vintage, was produced with grapes from 165 hectares of the 14 hectares they own. It goes back to the alcoholic degree of 2021, 12.5%, compared with the 13.5% of 2022. 2023 seems to be somewhere in between those two previous vintages: cooler and with a better distribution of rain than in 2022 but with warmer temperatures than 2021. The wine is still very young and primary, a little reductive even, with a balsamic hint that should go away with a little more time in bottle. This matures in stainless steel with lees until it's bottled. It has varietal notes of white flowers and grass. It's fresh and balanced, light to medium-bodied, easy to drink, sapid and tasty, with an almost salty twist in the finish despite its young age. It has a pH of 3.2 after going through full malolactic. There will be around 95,000 bottles, but not all the wine has been bottled yet, kept in stainless steel with the lees and the natural carbonic gas. The bottle I tasted was bottled in May 2024, but all bottles have the bottling date on the back label.

Decepcionante. No sé si me pilló con la boca rara pero me pareció vulgar y nada destacable. La botella espero que le siente bien.
Excelente albariño, con una acidez perfectamente equilibrada, salino, mineral y complejo. 4,3.
Extraordinario albariño.
Muy suave al principio, y cada vez mas salino, frutal y mineral a medida que va bajando la botella
