Product Description
Details
The wine Rodrigo Méndez Cíes Albariño is an engaging example of the style that has given fame to first-rate Galician winemaker Rodrigo Méndez.
This varietal Spanish white wine is sourced from 30 to 70-year-old Albariño vineyards planted in sandy and granitic soils at 70 metres above sea level, on the vicinity of Meaño, a village within DO Rías Baixas.
After a manual harvest, the main batch of this Crianza white wine was fermented in oak barrels; the rest went through the process in stainless steel tanks.
Then the white wine Rodrigo Méndez Cíes Albariño 2024 was aged for 6 months in the said containers.
We suggest aerating this white wine from Rías Baixas before drinking.

| Our personal opinion | The opposite of a dully commercial, run-of-the-mill Albariño, the wine Rodrigo Méndez Cíes Albariño 2024 is astonishingly good. |
