Pazo Señorans Albariño 2023
Single-varietal white wine from the Galician key grape variety Albariño from de Val do Salnés, the most northerly and flattest of the sub-zones, and has the most established reputation for producing classy Albariño-based wines.
The wine is made by the small, familiar bodega Pazo de Señoras, founded in 1989, and it is housed in a magnificent and manorial 16th-century manor house, now reconverted into a winery.
Production: The grapes are hand-picked and hand-selected at the vineyard. Pellicular maceration in press. Controlled alcoholic fermentation at 16 ºC in stainless steel tanks with a minimum of 5 months surlie, followed by at least 4 months rest in bottle. The bottling is done several times throughout the year.
Tasting Notes: Straw yellow in color. Of medium aromatic intensity, subtle, elegant, marked varietal character, fruity, fresh, and tasty, with a range of tangerine, grapefruit, peach and apricot flavours and an herbaceous touch, firm acidity, and a creamy texture.
Notes: To be enjoyed over the next 1-3 years after the vintage. It should develop in complexity with age.
