Pazo Das Bruxas Albariño

An excellent aperitif. Good with raw, cooked or grilled seafood. Pairs perfectly with mild, white fish. Its lively palate strikes a perfect balance with soft goat cheeses.

From traditional wines such as Sangre de Toro celebrating its 60th vintage to the legendary single vineyard wine Mas La Plana Torres’ broad diversity of vineyards allows selection of the best sites for each grape variety.

Appellation of Origin Rías Baixas is found in the Spanish region of Galicia and is divided into five sub-areas: O Rosal, Condado de Tea, Soutomaior, Val do Salnes and Ribeira do Ulloa. “Pazo das Bruxas” is mostly produced with grapes from the O’Rosal area, in combination with grapes from Salnés. The soil is sandy with great water drainage and granite rocks in the structure which prevent water retention. The Salnés area is colder than O’Rosal, which leads to slightly slower ripening and wines that are more acidic.

The wine remains in tank – where it undergoes stabilisation - for about 6 months and is then bottled during the following month of June.

After the harvest, the grapes undergo skin contact for 6 hours. The alcoholic fermentation, which lasts approximately 16 days, takes place in stainless steel tanks at a temperature of 15-16ºC.
