Do Ferreiro
Philosophy
Gerardo Méndez's Do Ferreiro is the reference producer of Rias Baixas — the estate that defines old-vine Albariño from the Val do Salnés subzone. The Cepas Vellas bottling (from vines over 200 years old) is considered the finest Albariño expression in the world: a wine of extraordinary mineral complexity, saline depth, and 20+ year aging potential. Méndez farms biodynamically on the original ungrafted pre-phylloxera vines — a living archive of Galician viticultural heritage.
Reputation
