Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The textbook 2023 Leirana is elegant, clean and expressive, with notes of white flowers and fruit, fine lees and herbs. It fermented and matured in stainless steel and 80% in oak foudres for six months. The palate is medium-bodied with good ripeness and a moderate 12.4% alcohol, keeping the freshness and balance and finishing with a bitter and salty twist. This is very tasty. 50,000 bottles. It was bottled in March 2024.

Winemaking
Description
Leirana is a young white wine, made mainly from Albariño grapes in the Rías Baixas appellation by Rodrigo Méndez and Raúl Pérez.
The vines where the grapes come from were planted between 1952 and 1982 in granitic and sandy soils by the sea.
Winemaking
This white wine is made by hand harvesting and selection. Alcoholic fermentation is carried out in stainless steel tanks (60%) and oak foudre (40%). The wine does not undergo malolactic fermentation.
Taste
Leirana is a white wine with a pleasant floral and herbal expression. On the palate it has a friendly entry, is very electric and delivers a balanced acidity, with good ageing potential and a long aftertaste.
A tasty and balanced white wine.
The Bodega Forjas del Salnés winery brings us a young white wine with great personality. It has been elaborated with a vibrant, fresh and aromatic amber colour.
In the gastronomic field it is the perfect companion for meals such as Galician octopus or pork shoulder with turnip tops.
And you, what are you waiting for to try this exquisite wine?
