Producer Profile
Pazo Señorans is one of DO Rías-Baixas’ leading producers.
The influence of owners Marisol Bueno and Javier Mareque on the development of the DO Rías-Baixas appellation and its primary grape variety, Albariño, goes back to their purchase in 1979 of a 16th-century country estate wine kiwi orchards and old-vine Albariño vineyards. Located in the town of Meis, Pazo Señorans lies close to the sea on acidic, sandy soils created by the natural decomposition of the granite bedrock below. Marisol and Javier were quick to recognize the potential of Albariño and were instrumental in the creation of the DO just a decade after their arrival in Meis. Today, the wines from this estate demonstrate the grape’s ageing potential in a way that few other producers can emulate.
Tasting Notes
Greg Sherwood 97
"The seriously fine Pazo Senorans Seleccion Anada 2013 is a fabulously cool, taut, creamy Albarino creation that expresses both youthful and subtle tertiary aromatics all at once. Matured in stainless steel for 36 months on its fine lees, the wine is then aged for a further 72 months in tank before being bottled in April 2022. The wine always shows such incredibly fine-tuned, pure precision without any oxidative notes whatsoever. On the nose, the 2013 positively bristles with hints of dried herbs, acacia flowers, quince puree, pithy waxy lemons, honeysuckle, yellow grapefruit, black currant, and complex notes of smoky lees, and crushed granite minerality. The palate baffles the mind with an electrically charged bright acidity that invigorates the senses with its intensity and freshness. The wine unfurls in the glass for hours, revealing layer upon layer of ripe stone fruits, crunchy white peach, tart yellow grapefruit, gooseberry, and tart green apple. A truly wonderful, eccentric style of premium Albarino that every fine wine lover should drink at least once! Drink now and over the next 8 to 10 years."- Greg Sherwood MW.
