Wine Tales of Salt, Stones and the Sea: An Albariño Masterclass w/ Manu and Encarna Méndez of Do Ferreiro

The Porróncast

The superstar siblings, Manuel and Encarna Méndez from the iconic Albariño producer, Do Ferreiro give a masterclass on Albariño, the history of winemaking in Galicia, and their deep family history in Rías Baixas.
They go in-depth breaking down the various bottlings from their historic estate - including the bottling from their home vineyard dating back to at least 1790 (WTW!!!) that is bottled separately in select vintages and labeled '"Cepas Vellas."
In this episode we dive into the beginnings of Do Ferreiro, the importance of gastronomy, the secret age-ability of Albariño, and the future of this important estate.
