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, Caina, Espadeiro and Loureira Tinto and the region Rias Baixas it is simply essential to taste these wines.

This is an Atlantic red with the spicy, black pepper nose, typical of Caiño, and a wild character of herbs and flowers. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a silky, fine texture and great freshness, long and really tasty finish with a salty note.
