About Pedro Méndez As Abeleiras

In the realm of wine, as in life, what is emerging does not always gleam at first glance. The true pioneers shaping the future do not emerge from marketing laboratories nor do they tread red carpets. They are born from the earth, amidst calloused hands, intuition, and resilience. These are individuals who do not seek to be a trend, but rather to embody authenticity.

Pedro Méndez is one of these individuals. He is one of those vintners who are here not to make noise, but to lay down roots. From the heart of the Valle del Salnés in Galicia, this young Galician has carved his path by reclaiming abandoned vineyards and giving a new voice to native grape varieties. He operates outside the Rías Baixas Denomination of Origin, not out of defiance, but out of fidelity to the idea of allowing the wine to speak without filters, shortcuts, or embellishments.

Pedro Méndez As Abeleiras is his most personal wine. It was the first he planted alongside his father in 1996. A small plot in Meaño, merely 100 metres above sea level, where the soil of xabre (decomposed granite) and clay meld with the salty breeze of the Atlantic. Here, an albariño is born that does not seek to fit into moulds. Its uniqueness is its strength.

In the vineyard, cultivation is organic and the harvest is manual. In the winery, the destemming is gentle, maceration with the skins lasts 12 hours, and spontaneous fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks, without malolactic fermentation. Afterwards, the wine ages on lees for 10 months (25% in French oak barrels, the rest in steel). There is no fining, nor tartaric stabilization. Only a light filtration and the precise dose of sulfur to preserve freshness without diminishing its identity.

A wine like this, or a project of this nature, does not come into being every day, which is why, when someone speaks to you about the new generations in wine, remember this name. Pedro Méndez As Abeleiras is a wine that resonates with mineral tension, elegance, depth, and texture.
