Cellar for up to 5 years. No need to decant it.
Forjas del Salnes is a Galician winery founded in 2005 by Rodrigo Mendez with the famous winemaker Raul Perez. The recovery of centuries-old vineyards of little-known varieties and the production of Albarino wines from old vines have always been their mission. But the winery also aims to enhance a terroir of great vocation where sandy and granite soils and the proximity of the sea create grapes of great expressivity.
Leirana Albarino is an exceptional white wine that was qualified in 2012 as the best wine of the Rías Baixas appellation by the New York Times. It is made 100% from Albarino grapes, grown on sandy soils of granite origin from vines aged between 40 and 60 years. It is fermented in a mix of stainless steel vats and oak foudres, where it is then left to mature for six months.
This mineral Albarino offers delicate notes of stone fruit, white flowers, a touch of salinity, and a hint of slightly bitter citrus. A vibrant acidity brings freshness and liveliness. It is complex and expressive, agile and elegant.
It can stay in the cellar for a few years but can also be enjoyed now with seafood, cod, oysters, and appetizers in general.

Bodegas Forjas del Salnes Leirana Albarino 2025
overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
