Rodrigo Mendez makes not just great Albarino but also much rarer Galician reds. Forjas des Salnes began as a garage winery in 2005 and was named after the ironworks set up by Rodrigo’s grandfather. To understand the true potential of the grapes Albarino, Caino, Espadeiro and Loureira Tinto and the region Rias Baixas it is simply essential to taste these wines.

"The very pale and delicate 2020 Goliardo Caíño is floral, balsamic and peppery, delicate and fresh, varietal with moderate ripeness and notable acidity with a lively stream of freshness. 2,000 bottles were produced. It was bottled in January 2023."
