Crafted by Pedro Méndez—a passionate winemaker balancing vineyard work and a family restaurant—this Albariño reflects the coastal terroir of Galicia’s famed Rías Baixas. Sourced from medium-aged and rare pre-phylloxera vines (some over 200 years old), the wine bursts with vibrant citrus, sea-salt minerality, and refreshing acidity—hallmarks of premium Albariño.

Why Choose This Wine?

• Distinctive Terroir: Grown in granite-rich soils near the Atlantic, the grapes absorb briny freshness, perfect for seafood pairings.
• Ancient Vines: Pre-phylloxera Albariño vines yield concentrated flavors with remarkable structure.
• Versatile & Food-Friendly: Enjoy chilled with oysters, grilled fish, or creamy cheeses.

A standout among Spanish white wines, Pedro Méndez’s 2023 vintage offers a bold yet balanced profile—think zesty grapefruit, wet stone, and a crisp finish. Limited availability due to small-batch production.
