Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2022 Albariño Cepas Vellas feels quite reductive and difficult to read on the nose. It took time to open up, but the palate showed the depth, balance and clout of the wine from minute one. It's dense and intense, with crystalline purity and great length, leaving a strong rocky sensation like the old vines really feed on the granite. 9,000 bottles were produced. It was bottled in August 2023.

Description

Albariño Do Ferreiro Cepas Vellas is a white wine made exclusively from Albariño grapes by Gerardo Méndez in D.O. Rías Baixas.
The grapes used to make this wine come from vines so old that some of them are even 200 years old. The vineyards occupy less than one hectare and are planted on sandy soils with granitic bedrock.

Winemaking

The grapes are harvested by hand. Once in the winery, they are destemmed and undergo cold maceration. The grapes are then pressed and the must ferments at the foot of the vat.
Finally, the wine rests on its own fine lees for 12 months in stainless steel tanks.

Taste

Albariño Do Ferreiro Cepas Vellas is an aromatic white wine with intense fruit and citrus. With floral and mineral expressions and a saline background. On the palate it has a long, dense and silky finish. Due to its excellent acidity it is fresh, balanced and saline on the finish, an Albariño with extraordinary purity!

An elegant wine, of extraordinary purity and very fine.

Do Ferreiro Cepas Vellas is a very distinguished white wine, surprising for its complexity and depth, the work of a master like few others, Gerardo Méndez!
Gerardo Méndez's winery was born from his passion for the native variety Albariño and this wine is made from a small production that comes from an estate of less than one hectare. In addition, it is only made in those years when the grapes are in the best conditions.
In the gastronomic field, this wine is perfect as a gift or for anniversary dinners and is ideal to accompany a variety of salads, white fish and seafood, among others.
