Description
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 cleared and replanted with Albarino grapes, which give such stunning results here. In 1989, they invested heavily again to completely renew the production resources and thus had access to the latest and most modern means of producing wine.
The first harvest was in 1990. In 1992, the young and promising oenologist Ana Quintela was brought into the company and since then the wines have shown an annual upward trend in terms of 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 exclusively by hand (which 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 yields than elsewhere to achieve more concentration and with a very slow fermentation. This is also the only way to age the wines, because although in Spain people only want to drink the Albariño young, this Pazo de Señorans has a very good aging potential.
The bodega has recently started bringing older vintages (2009 and 2010) back onto the market from their cellars under the label: Pazo Senorans Collection. Substantially higher in price, especially as it only concerns a limited number of bottles, but purely to show the wine-loving public that with aging this wine becomes even more special with even better integrated fruit & acid.
Beautiful "full" Albariño, classic, slightly exotic, beautifully aromatic, with soft notes of pear, peach, grapefruit, a touch of honey, minerals and fresh acidity. These influences are also reflected in the taste. The wine is wonderfully fresh and due to the good ripeness of the fruit, the wine even seems slightly sultry, so to speak, mouth-filling. The aftertaste is long, intense and complex. Sweet, fruity and dry taste pattern with mineral finish. A winner when we talk about the Albariño grape. ! It is not without reason that Ferran Adrià (formerly El Bulli) has chosen this wine as one of his 'open wines' for his new restaurant 'Tickets' in Barcelona.

Drink Date: 2023 - 2027
The 2022 Albariño is from granite soils in the Salnés Valley. It shows varietal character, freshly cut grass, white flowers and fruit and the roundness of the year, with 13.5% alcohol and balancing acidity. This is bottled after four to five months with lees. It has the Señorans signature. 192,000 bottles were produced.
Pazo de Señorans keeps working toward more sustainability in their vineyards, not a small task, as they control 43.33 hectares, 21.5 are their property and the rest from 66 families. Production fluctuates between 250,000 and 295,000 bottles.

Light chartreuse. Expressive, mineral-accented citrus and orchard fruit aromas are complemented by subtle floral and herb notes. Penetrating Meyer lemon, pear, honeysuckle and ginger flavors take a turn to deeper peach and melon with air. Conveys depth but comes off lithe, finishing with sharp definition and resonating floral and mineral flourishes.

Pazo de Señorans is located in the wine region of Rias Baixas which is located in Galicia, all the northwest of Spain and north of Portugal. This area is famous for producing Spain's best white wines, Rias Baixas' Albariño. Like many regions in Galicia, the soil here is also completely made of granite. The top layer consists of sand, mainly crumbled granite particles. This ensures that there is perfect water drainage from the soils. At low yields, the granite soils also ensure a nice minerality in the grapes.
The first harvest was in 1990. In 1992, the young and promising oenologist Ana Quintela was brought into the company and since then the wines have seen an annual increase in quality. Pazo de Señorans is always the last to start the harvest. They harvest with a higher sugar content than the other Bodegas. All this results in optimally and evenly ripe grapes with ultimately more aromas and flavors and less aggressive acids. Harvest is done only by hand, which is a result of the Pergola plantation and then the grapes are also selected by hand.
