  • Vineyard Profile

    • In old country houses known as “pazos”, surrounded by forests and vineyards, Galician witches conjured up spirits through magic and dance. And so the sap, the lifeblood, coursed through the vines, filling them with vitality. Like the Albariño grapes that give birth to this wine.

  • Pazo das Bruxas, DO Rías Baixas — 2020 – Wine Enthusiast – 91 Points

    “Peach, mango and nutmeg aromas emanate from the glass. Flavors of nectarine, apricot, grapefruit, dried sage and white truffle wash across the palate and evaporate into a savory yet brilliant finish.”

  • Familia Torres Pazo das Bruxas, DO Rías Baixas — 2020 – James Suckling – 90 Points

    Sliced apple, apricot, seashell and lemon on the nose. Light-to medium-bodied with sharp acidity. Fresh, stony and saline.
