What does this wine taste like?
In the glass, it displays a pale yellow colour with greenish glints and offers delightfully clean aromas of white and stone fruits, embellished with flowers and freshly-cut grass. Fresh and agile in the mouth, it has a degree of unctuosity and minerality with a saline sensation thanks to the Atlantic. It offers a varietal character and a splendidly acidic structure, before leaving us with an elegant and slightly bitter finish with hints of citrus fruit and a feeling of wanting another sip.

Leirana is a single-varietal Albariño wine which uses grapes from different towns in the Salnes valley in Galicia to produce a faithful expression of the region's character. Considered to be home to the very best Albariño, the Salnes valley is the coastal sub-region of the DO Rías Baixas appellation. A wonderful landscape where vines between 40 and 60 years old grow in granite and sandy soils close to the Atlantic.
