General Information
Pazo Señorans 2023 is the latest vintage of a key brand from the D.O. Rías Baixas. A wine that, vintage after vintage, continues to be positioned among the best white monovarietal Albariño wines on the market.
Pazo Señorans has been aged for 5 months on its lees, along with a further 4 months in the bottle to round it off. This is a white that marked a before and after in Rías Baixas, with an undeniable quality, that’s distinguished by its fullness, aromatic complexity and silky texture.
Pazo de Señorans is a firm located in a sixteenth-century manor house located in the sub-area of the Salnés Valley. This winery is a master in the handling of Albariño, the ruling grape of the Galician vineyard, Pazo Señorans launched its first vintage on the market in 1989 and today it’s a winery with international prestige and a vital part of understanding the evolution of the D.O. Rías Baixas. Founded by Javier Mareque and Marisol Bueno, a pioneer in the production of Albariños aged in stainless steel tanks, the management of the winery is now also shared by the couple's four children: Marisol, Vicky, Javier and Santiago.
Pazo Señorans 2023 is an Albariño full of freshness and with excellent ageing potential (1-3 years). A white wine from the D.O. Rías Baixas that perfectly accompanies boiled or grilled seafood dishes.
Tasting notes
Pazo Señorans has an attractive pale straw yellow colour with a greenish rim. Very bright and crystalline.
On the nose, its tremendous aromatic complexity is surprising. This is an intense and very elegant white wine, initially offering floral notes (honeysuckle), hints of white fruit (melon) and notes of red grapefruit, on a delicate background of aromatic herbs (mint).
On the palate it’s full, oily and with a balanced and glycerine mouthfeel, offering pleasant hints of citrus fruits that, together with its well-integrated acidity, lend it liveliness and freshness. Very long on the finish, with persisting herbal and balsamic notes.
The winery
Pazo de Señorans (1989) is an essential winery to understand the evolution and rise of the D.O. Rías Baixas over the last 25 years. Marisol Bueno (its creator and for more than twenty years at the helm of the Regulatory Council of the D.O.) was a pioneer in revealing the great results achieved with the aging of albariño in stainless steel tanks. Thus, their white Pazo Señorans Selección de Añada set a milestone, creating a new winemaking style: a long-lived, expressive, and complex albariño, and managed to place it among the top spots in global rankings.
Located in the Valle del Salnés (D.O. Rías Baixas), what began as a small wine-growing operation comprising the pazo and 10 hectares of vineyard has become a benchmark winery with an annual production of 450,000 bottles. The albariños from Pazo Señorans are in the top tier of Spanish whites. In the Winery of the Month, we feature the three wines produced by the brand: the aforementioned Selección de Añada, which is the flagship; the young albariño of the year; and the latest novelty: Pazo Señorans Colección 2011, a version of the young albariño but aged in the bottle at the winery itself.
