94 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: When I tasted this wine in mid-June, the nose of the 2024 Albariño was still too closed and a little reductive to show its true colors, but it was in the palate where I could see the harmony and balance of the year, a year with purity and elegance, with a perfect balance between alcohol and ripeness and freshness and acidity, with textbook parameters for good development of aromatics and flavors while keeping the spark from the granite soils. It's very Salnés. Some 90,000 bottles will be produced, but some wine is still to be bottled and kept with the fine lees in stainless steel. 94 Points - Tim Atkin, MW:"The Mendéz family's textbook Albariño uses grapes from a mind-boggling 164 small parcels in the Val do Salnés villages of Cambados, Castrelo, Meaño, Ribadumia and Sanxenxo. The kind of wine that makes you long for a plate of fresh seafood, it's racy, pure and superbly balanced, all citrus, lime and wet stones and impressive palate length. 2025-2032. (2025)."
