PAZO DE SENORANS Albarino 'Val do Salnes' - Rias Baixas, Galicia 2023 Bottle/nc 13.5% VEG/VGN

Description

Pazo Señorans is made with 100% Albariño grapes that grow on 35-year old vines in 20 acres of lovingly cared vineyards that receive the sea breeze from the Atlantic Ocean. Upon arrival at the winery, grapes are destemmed and crushed in a pneumatic press where they undergo a quick decantation and short maceration.

Tasting: Some leesy and nutty hints hide among the wine's bright fruit flavours: peach, yellow apple, and dried tropical fruits. The lees contact pushes those yellow apples into riper red apple flavours, along with a toasted almond note. This is a very interesting version of a grape many people wouldn't necessarily recognize in this guise.

Drink now or in the next several years.
