ABV: 13%
Who/What/How:
- Pazo do Mar’s Rías Baixas winery is dedicated solely to the Albariño grape variety, (as many in the region are), as this grape continues to grow in popularity. They focus on single varietal wines, focusing on creating wines which best suit the specific terroir and conditions for the individual vineyards.
Taste:
- The vines are placed in a unique system of trellises. This promotes air circulation and removes the chance of damp sea air causing the grapes to rot and allows for more exposure to the sun. The off-shoot of this is that the wines are super-ripe and less acidic. This translates into riper fruit flavours of flat peach, cantaloupe, apricot and clementine. You'll also note aromatic punches of orange zest, beeswax and honeysuckle.
