Discover the Essence of Coastal Spain: Leirana Albariño 2023

Experience award-winning elegance from Rias Baixas with our 94-point Leirana Albariño 2023. Crafted by Forjas del Salnes in Spain’s premier white wine region, this vintage captures the Atlantic spirit in every glass—perfect for enthusiasts seeking refined, food-friendly wines.

Critically Acclaimed Character
Wine Advocate praises its textbook expression: vibrant notes of white flowers, crisp orchard fruits, and subtle herbs unfold gracefully. A unique six-month maturation—80% in large oak foudres, 20% in stainless steel—imparts delicate texture without overpowering oak. Enjoy a beautifully balanced palate with refreshing Meyer lemon zest, mineral undertones, and a signature saline finish that elevates seafood pairings.

Winemaker’s Artistry in Every Sip
Pale with green hues, this Albariño greets you with intense aromas of honeysuckle, quinine, and crushed stones, accented by whispers of ginger. Its light-bodied structure (12.5% ABV) delivers vibrant acidity and weightless intensity—think juicy citrus and white peach wrapped in a dry, spicy persistence. Ideal for those valuing complexity without heaviness.
