About La Cana 2018 Alberino, Rias Baixas
La Cana is a wine that Jorge Ordonez and his winemaking team craft to demonstrate the potential that Albariño shows as a high quality, serious wine. As Jorge was the first person to export this variety, he has a tremendous passion and appreciation for Albarino, and as a result, feels the variety should be used to produce serious wines. La Cana demonstrates the complexity, intensity, and longevity Albariño can achieve when sourced from old vineyards and using serious winemaking practices.
Hand-harvested and stored in small baskets. 25% fermentation by indigenous yeast in French oak. 75% fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Aged 8 months sur lie in the fermentation vessel. 25% in puncheons and demi-muids and 75% in stainless steel, with battonage.
James Suckling scored this 92 points saying "Pineapple, lemon meringue, grapefruit and cloves. Medium-bodied and very tangy. Loads of apricot and citrus character. Drink now."
Jeb Dunnuck scored this 92 points saying "Made from 100% Albarino, the 2018 La Caña is another smoking good white from Ordonez that has a light gold color as well as notes of honeyed minerality, tangerines, and tart pineapple. It's complex, has a racy, vibrant style, and displays beautiful acidity as well as a salty, crisp, mineral-laced finish. It's a brilliant white I’d love to have the dinner table."
