La Caña is a wine that Jorge Ordóñez and his winemaking team craft to demonstrate the potential that Albariño shows as a high quality, serious varietal. As Jorge was the first person to export this variety, he has a tremendous passion and appreciation for Albariño, and he decries the use of Albariño to make simplistic, mass-produced, and commerical wines.. La Caña demonstrates the complexity, intensity, and longevity Albariño can achieve when sourced from old vineyards and using serious winemaking practices.

2020 Vintage:
91 Points, Wine Spectator, SMART BUYS
“Firm acidity supports the round texture in this solid white, whose peach and lime flavors are balanced by brine and blanched almond notes. Reserved, but harmonious and deep. Drink now through 2026. 22,000 cases made, 17,500 cases imported.” — TM

“Aromas of green pear and lychee pave the way for flavors of grapefruit, lemon zest, green apple and roasted almond. This light-yellow wine feels good in the mouth from first sip to the zesty finish.” -Mike DeSimone, Buying Guide April 2022
92 Points, Vinous
“Light, vivid yellow. Fresh, mineral-tinged pear, nectarine, melon and floral scents are complemented by hints of honey, lemon curd and chamomile. Silky and expansive on the palate, offering energetic orchard and citrus fruit flavors that tighten up and turn spicier through the back half. Finishes very long and nervy, with repeating florality and a spicy jolt of candied ginger.” -Josh Reynolds
93 Points, James Suckling
“Very fresh and vivid with sliced-apple, orange-peel, stone and salt aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied with firm tannins and a bright finish. Lovely combination of pure fruit and hints of the sea. Drink now.”
