Pazo das Bruxas Albariño, DO Rías Baixas
Produced in DO Rías Baixas, the undisputed birthplace of Albariño. This classic expression of Albariño is characteristic of the Atlantic influenced maritime climate of Rías Baixas.The combination of fruit from temperate O’Rosal vineyards with slower to ripen parcels from Salnés provides optimal balance and high toned acidity. 100% Albariño.
A portion of fruit comes from the Familia Torres Pazo Torre Penelas estate which has 6 HA of Albariño planted from 1985-2005 in the Val do Salnés region of Rías Baixas. Additional fruit is sourced predominately with grapes from the historic coastline of Salnés, blended with grapes from O'Rosal. The combination of fruit from temperate O’Rosal vineyards with slower to ripen parcels from Salnés provides optimal balance and high toned acidity.

Beautiful pale gold color, with luminous reflections. Seductive and delicious on the nose, with fine terpene, floral and lemon aromas. In the mouth it is silky, firm, fresh and flows well. Elegant and attractive, with good persistence and great personality.

"Hints of stone, saline and smoke are a minerally overtone for this sleek white, with well-honed acidity defining flavors of apricot, tangerine and almond skin, plus accents of chamomile and lemon thyme."
— Alison Napjus, 2024
