This Weekend's Special: Wine Spectator's #66 wine of 2024 only $11.99
100% Albariño sourced from vines planted between 1975-2001. Fermented 25% in 500L & 600L puncheons and demi-muids (second use through 12 vintages old), 75% in stainless steel. Sur lie ageing for eight months with bi-weekly battonage in both barrel and tank.
La Caña is a wine that Jorge Ordóñez and his winemaking team craft to demonstrate the potential that Albariño shows as a high quality, serious varietal. As Jorge was the first person to export this variety, he has a tremendous passion and appreciation for Albariño, and he decries the use of Albariño to make simplistic, mass-produced, and commerical wines.. La Caña demonstrates the complexity, intensity, and longevity Albariño can achieve when sourced from old vineyards and using serious winemaking practices.
James Suckling Review:
Crushed seashells, chalk, salted lemons and sliced apples on the nose. Bone-dry salinity brings out plenty of briny austerity on a textured, medium-bodied palate. Pithy and gastronomic in the finish. I like the fact that this is not a fruity but rather a bony albarino. Bring on the oysters!
