The Wines of Isabel Salgado: A Galician Vertical 🌿

FOUR VINTAGES OF ONE EXTRAORDINARY WINE — PLUS A LITTLE GODELLO MAGIC

Isabel Salgado is back at Martha’s Vineyard for a third time — and this evening we’re doing one of our favourite kinds of tasting — a true vertical: her Siah, the very same wine, across four consecutive vintages — 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 — tasted side by side so you can watch it change year by year.

We’ll open with a glass of her Abalón to set the scene, then line up the four Siah vintages and let them tell their own story.

Relaxed, hands-on and genuinely fascinating — this is wine discovery at its most fun.

🍇 What exactly is a vertical tasting — and why bother?

A vertical tasting means tasting the same wine across several different vintages — in our case, Isabel’s Siah from 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025, lined up side by side.

Here’s the magic: same vineyard, same grape, the same hands that made it — the only thing that changes is the year. So every difference in the glass comes down to how the wine has aged and what each growing season gave it. You’re tasting time itself.

And please don’t believe the myth that you need a trained, expert palate for this. You couldn’t be further from the truth. Stood next to each other, the changes are obvious — even to a complete beginner. The youngest is bright and zippy; the older vintages turn rounder, deeper and more golden. Isabel herself will be pouring, explaining vintage by vintage exactly why each one tastes the way it does.

It’s the single best way to really understand how a wine evolves — and a lot more fun than it sounds.

đŸŸ THE LINEUP đŸŸ

đŸ„‚ AbalĂłn — 100% Godello, Valdeorras (to start)
Isabel’s own-label Godello, and the wine the Spanish wine world can’t stop talking about — because the quality-for-the-price is, frankly, a little ridiculous. Named after the abalone fossil she found in her own vineyard (proof the land was once an ancient seabed), it brings a saline, stony elegance that’s all its own. Isabel will tell you exactly how she makes it — and why it costs what it does.

đŸ„‚ Siah 2025 — Treixadura, Ribeiro
The baby of the line-up. Bright, zippy and alive with stone fruit and freshness — Treixadura caught in its first flush of youth.

đŸ„‚ Siah 2024 — Treixadura, Ribeiro
A year on and you’ll already notice it: a little rounder, a little calmer, the fruit settling into something more complete.

đŸ„‚ Siah 2023 — Treixadura, Ribeiro
Now we’re into proper development — more texture, more weight, the creaminess that makes this wine such a brilliant partner for food.

đŸ„‚ Siah 2022 — Treixadura, Ribeiro
The elder statesman. Deeper, golden and layered — this is where you really see what time does to a great white. Tasted against the 2025, the difference will stop you in your tracks.

YOUR HOST — AND YOUR WINEMAKER

Martha will guide the evening with her usual warmth — and we promise it’s more fun than a World Cup football game. The real treat? Isabel Salgado herself will be in the room, pouring her own wines and explaining, vintage by vintage, exactly why each one tastes the way it does. Questions aren’t just welcome — they’re the whole point.

đŸ‘©â€đŸŒŸ A little about Isabel — though she’d never tell you any of this herself

Isabel Salgado de Andrea is one of the most respected winemakers in Galicia, with around 30 years in the cellar. For more than two decades she has been the winemaker and director of Bodegas Fillaboa — one of the great names of RĂ­as Baixas and a member of Grandes Pagos de España.

An agricultural engineer trained in Madrid and Turin, she has also served as president of Galicia’s Orujo (spirits) Regulatory Council, and is a passionate champion of women in winemaking.

Her wines speak for themselves: Fillaboa’s “La Fillaboa 1898” was named Best in Show at the Decanter World Wine Awards — chosen ahead of nearly 17,000 other wines — and the estate has collected more than 40 medals along the way. Siah and Abalón are her own personal projects, and tonight she’s pouring them for you in person.

CUATRO AÑADAS DE UN MISMO VINO EXTRAORDINARIO — Y UN POCO DE MAGIA EN GODELLO

Isabel Salgado vuelve a Martha’s Vineyard por tercera vez, y esta noche hacemos una de nuestras catas favoritas: una autĂ©ntica cata vertical. Su Siah, el mismo vino, a travĂ©s de cuatro añadas consecutivas — 2022, 2023, 2024 y 2025 — catadas una al lado de la otra para que veas cĂłmo cambia el vino año tras año.

Empezaremos con una copa de su Abalón para abrir boca y luego alinearemos las cuatro añadas de Siah, dejando que cuenten su propia historia.

Relajada, cercana y realmente fascinante: asĂ­ es descubrir el vino de la forma mĂĄs divertida.

🍇 ÂżQuĂ© es exactamente una cata vertical — y por quĂ© merece la pena?

Una cata vertical consiste en probar el mismo vino en varias añadas distintas; en nuestro caso, el Siah de Isabel de 2022, 2023, 2024 y 2025, uno al lado del otro.

Y aquĂ­ estĂĄ la magia: mismo viñedo, misma uva, las mismas manos que lo elaboran — lo Ășnico que cambia es el año. AsĂ­ que cada diferencia en la copa se debe a cĂłmo ha envejecido el vino y a lo que dio cada cosecha. EstĂĄs catando el tiempo mismo.

Y no te creas el mito de que hace falta un paladar experto y entrenado para esto. Nada mĂĄs lejos de la realidad. Alineados uno junto a otro, los cambios son evidentes — incluso para un principiante absoluto. El mĂĄs joven es vibrante y fresco; las añadas mĂĄs viejas se vuelven redondas, profundas y mĂĄs doradas. La propia Isabel servirĂĄ los vinos, explicando añada por añada por quĂ© cada uno sabe como sabe.

Es la mejor manera de entender de verdad cómo evoluciona un vino — y mucho más divertido de lo que parece.

đŸŸ LOS VINOS đŸŸ

đŸ„‚ AbalĂłn — 100% Godello, Valdeorras (para empezar)
El Godello de su propia marca, y el vino del que no para de hablar el mundo del vino español — porque su relaciĂłn calidad-precio es, sinceramente, casi indecente. Bautizado por el fĂłsil de abalĂłn que ella misma encontrĂł en su viñedo (prueba de que aquella tierra fue un antiguo fondo marino), aporta una elegancia salina y mineral Ășnica. Isabel te contarĂĄ exactamente cĂłmo lo elabora — y por quĂ© cuesta lo que cuesta.

đŸ„‚ Siah 2025 — Treixadura, Ribeiro
El benjamĂ­n de la cata. Brillante, vivo y lleno de fruta de hueso y frescura: la Treixadura en plena juventud.

đŸ„‚ Siah 2024 — Treixadura, Ribeiro
Un año mås y ya se nota: algo mås redondo, mås sereno, con la fruta empezando a asentarse en algo mås completo.

đŸ„‚ Siah 2023 — Treixadura, Ribeiro
Aquí entramos en una evolución de verdad: mås textura, mås peso, esa cremosidad que convierte a este vino en un compañero de mesa brillante.

đŸ„‚ Siah 2022 — Treixadura, Ribeiro
El mĂĄs veterano. MĂĄs profundo, dorado y con capas: aquĂ­ ves de verdad lo que el tiempo le hace a un gran blanco. Catado junto al 2025, la diferencia te dejarĂĄ sin palabras.

TU ANFITRIONA — Y TU ENÓLOGA

Martha conducirĂĄ la velada con su calidez habitual — y te prometemos que es mĂĄs divertido que un partido de fĂștbol del Mundial. ÂżLo mejor? La propia Isabel Salgado estarĂĄ en la sala, sirviendo sus vinos y explicando, añada por añada, por quĂ© cada uno sabe como sabe. Las preguntas no solo son bienvenidas: son lo mĂĄs importante.

đŸ‘©â€đŸŒŸ Un poco sobre Isabel — aunque ella jamĂĄs te contarĂ­a nada de esto

Ingeniera agrónoma formada en Madrid y Turín, también ha sido presidenta del Consello Regulador do Orujo de Galicia y es una apasionada defensora del papel de la mujer en el mundo del vino.

Sus vinos hablan por sí solos: “La Fillaboa 1898” fue elegido Best in Show en los Decanter World Wine Awards — por delante de casi 17.000 vinos — y la bodega suma más de 40 medallas. Siah y Abalón son sus proyectos personales, y esta noche te los sirve en persona.
