In the Glass — Tasting Notes

The 2024 Silandeiro opens with luminous golden hue and immediate intensity: peach and apple up front, white flowers trailing through, all framed by mineral snap. On the palate, acidity is crisp without aggression; the body is lean and focused, flavours lingering long. Five to six months on the lees with regular bâtonnage has given the wine subtle richness and textural weight that lifts it above simple refreshment into something with real character and food compatibility.

The Winery — Bodegas Gallegas

Manuel and Myriam Vazquez run this Val do Salnés estate alongside winemaker Carlos Blanco, who has spent 25 years mastering the region's intricate vineyard tapestry. They source from 250 growers across 120 hectares and farm a further 140 hectares themselves, balancing scale with intimacy. Just five kilometres from the ocean, this coastal location delivers Atlantic freshness and maritime influence to every vintage. The 2024 — marked by long, even ripening under summer sun — produced grapes of excellent quality. Albariño's thick skins and late ripening thrive in Rías Baixas' high rainfall climate, and Gallegas' maritime-themed packaging reflects that oceanic connection.
