Pazo Señorans 2019

- NOTA DE CATA: Atractivo amarillo pálido, muy brillante y limpio. Ribetes verdosos. Lágrima glicérica. Muy buena intensidad aromática de carácter marcadamente varietal. Intensa y carnosa fruta madura, sobretodo manzana y cítricos, que permanece en perfecto equilibrio y armonía con los matices especiados y herbáceos que van apareciendo a medida que el vino se va abriendo. Sutiles aromas florales junto a la mineralidad conforman un elegante fondo. Entrada amplia y sabrosa. Con un paso sedoso y bastante cremoso, con la fruta muy presente y con unos destacados cítricos refrescantes y una delicada salinidad de fondo. Acidez viva muy agradable. Equilibrado y con un final muy largo dejando sensaciones marcadamente varietales.
Un vino blanco elegante, muy fresco y sincero.

Bodegas Senorans is located in Vilanovina, in the valley of the Rio Salnes, east of Pontevedra in the Rías Baixas. The domain was purchased in 1979 by Marisol Bueno (president of the Rias Consejo) and her husband Javier Mareque. A lot of money was invested in replanting the vineyards. Everything was dug up and replanted with Albarino grapes, which give such amazing results. In 1989, considerable investments were made to completely renew the production resources, thus providing the latest and most modern means of producing wine. The first harvest was that of 1990. In 1992, the young and promising oenologist Ana Quintela was brought into the firm and since then the wines have caught an annual upward trend in quality. Pazo de Senorans is always the last to start the harvest. They harvest with a higher sugar content than the other Bodegas. This results in optimally and evenly ripe grapes with ultimately more aromas and flavors and less aggressive acids. Harvesting is done solely by hand (which, incidentally, is the only possible way because the vines are planted in pergola form). and then the grapes are also selected by hand. We work with lower returns than elsewhere to achieve more concentration and with a very slow fermentation. This is also the only way to make the wines age, because although Spain wants to drink the Albariño only young, this Pazo de Señorans has a very good aging potential.

The bodega has recently brought older volumes (the 2009 and the 2010) back on the market from their cellars under the label: Pazo Senorans Collection. Substantially higher in terms of price, certainly as it concerns only a limited number of bottles, but purely to show the wine-loving public that with aging this wine becomes special with even better integrated fruit & acid.

Beautiful "full" Albariño, classic, slightly exotic, nicely aromatic, with soft notes of pear, peach, grapefruit, a hint of honey, minerals and fresh acids. These influences can also be found in the taste. The wine is wonderfully fresh and due to the good ripeness of the fruit, the wine even seems a bit sultry, say mouth filling. The aftertaste is long, intense and complex. Lovely, fruity and dry flavor pattern with a mineral finish. A winner when we talk about the Albariño grape. ! It is not without reason that Ferran Adrià (formerly El Bulli) has selected this wine as one of his 'open wines' for his new restaurant 'Tickets' in Barcelona.
