Terroir: Forjas del Salnés is a small winery in the Salnés subdistrict of Rías Baixas in Spain. This is from the Finca Genoveva vineyard, owned by a 90 year old lady called Lola. Rodrigo met her, won her heart, and saved this vineyard that was facing potential peril. This captivating site planted in 1862 “gives [Rodri] chickenpox every time he walks into it,” and is “the image of what Salnés looked like 100 years ago.” Truly the vineyard that changed everything for Rodri, the Albariño he produces here under the watchful eye of Doña Lola is fermented in chestnut vats built by her own parents.
