The wine

Do Ferreiro Cepas Vellas is virtually a cult wine in the Rías Baixas, the creation of a remarkable master, Gerardo Méndez, and an Albariño of exceptional purity. The grapes used to make it come from not just old but ancient vines, most likely the oldest in the denomination and possibly the whole of Spain, two centuries old.

The complexity and profundity of the aromas which this wine exudes are superb, difficult to describe, aromas of fennel and aniseed, apples, wax notes... It's a dense yet agile wine, very harmonious, a singular Albariño!

It was bottled in August 2023.

He works, naturally enough, with indigenous yeasts, and starts off the activation process in his own kitchen. Vines are his passion and he takes complete charge of his 5 hectares of vineyards, his grapes, the harvest and the winemaking. His vineyards are the highest in the denomination,...
