93 points Peñín Guide of Spanish Wine: "Taut. Colour: bright straw, greenish rim. Nose: fresh fruit, citrus fruit, wild herbs, sweet spices. Palate: fresh, fruity, good acidity, fine bitter notes. (2024)"

92 points James Suckling: "Fresh, bright and zesty with lime, nectarine and green apple. Some stones and green herbs, too. It shows excellent texture with lots of vibe coming from the tense and high-pitched acidity. Pure and pristine. Drink now. (5/9/23)"

91 points Wine Spectator: "[$25 list] Shows a creamy texture that carries focused flavors of poached apricot and tangerine fruit, lemon-infused pastry cream and accents of dried tarragon and pink peppercorn. A lithe white, well-knit and lightly mouthwatering, with a salty undertow driving the lingering finish. Drink now through 2026. (7/31/23)"

90 points Tim Atkin, MW: "(13.5%). A wine that is blended across the region, this is based on Salnés Valley fruit with 10% from Condado do Tea and 5% from Ribera do Ulla, this is a ripe, broad, intense style from Jorge Ordóñez that uses 35% barrel fermentation. Supple peach and pear flavours are complemented by fresh acidity and a hint of vanilla spice. 2023-26. (2023)"

Producer notes: "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. It demonstrates the complexity, intensity, and longevity Albariño can achieve when sourced from old vineyards and using serious winemaking practices."
