Product Description
Details

The prestigious Jorge Ordóñez founded Bodegas La Caña in 2003 with the aim of creating high-quality Spanish white wines. Almost two decades later, and with the aid of New Zelander oenologist Natalie Christensen, he has achieved his goal.

A varietal Albariño from DO Rías Baixas, Albariño La Caña is made from grapes coming from a selection of 12 of the 38 little plots planted before 1990 in Valle del Salnés. The grapes come from low-yielding vines, an all of the vinification process is carried out following traditional techniques.

Manually harvested, 25% of the Albariño grapes were fermented in French oak barrels, while the rest completed the process in stainless steel tanks. Then it was aged for 8 months on its lees. After that, Albariño La Caña 2022 was blended and aged for a further months.

This varietal white wine from Rías Baixas has consistently received accolades and high scores by some of the world's top wine critics.

Appearance

The white wine Abariño La Caña is medium straw with golden reflections.

Nose

This varietal Albariño exhibits some elegant notes of white fruit and yellow fruit, along with white flowers, some remembrances of citrus rind, and overtones of herbs and wet earth.

Palate

Exquisitely crafted, this wine of Bodegas La Caña from Jorge Ordóñez has a substantial volume that fills the mouth, though at the same time it is light, fresh and dry. Flavours of citrus, balsam and aromatic herbs over a mineral background enlivened by a salty touch. Steely acidity and a long, slightly bitter finish.

Our personal opinion

Once again, Jorge Ordóñez has hit the mark. Albariño La Caña 2022 will pair well with seafood and fish recipes.
