The 16th-century palace known as Pazo Piñeiro, expanded and remodeled in the 19th century, serves as the base of operations for the winery Pazos de Lusco. Located in Condado de Tea (southern area of the D.O. Rías Baixas), 40 km from the Atlantic, it has 6 hectares of vineyards on the estate itself, divided into 6 subplots by orientation and soil type. In general, the vineyard grows on land that imparts minerality to its wines.
In the winery, it is characterized by artisanal, low-intervention work to achieve the maximum expression of the grape. In the field, there is rigorous work, a practically mountain viticulture that is committed to sustainability, with periodic maturity controls and practices to prevent the high humidity of the area from harming the health of the plants. The vines grow on poor soils and have low yields (4,500 kg per hectare).
Pazos de Lusco is focused on aged Albariños. They produce Lusco, a white wine with hints of salinity and minerality, and, in some vintages, Pazo Piñeiro.
