Forjas del Salnés

Forjas del Salnés is a family estate in Meaño whose winemaking tradition dates back to the early 20th century. Rodrigo Méndez took over the project in 2005 and works, among others, with the oenologist Raúl Pérez. Around twelve hectares are farmed in Meaño, Sanxenxo and Barro, comprising both owned and leased parcels. The vineyards lie on granite and sandy soils and are organically farmed. In the cellar, the estate relies on native yeasts, low sulphur additions, large foudres, chestnut wood and as little technical intervention as possible.
