"Straw yellow with green tints. Intense and very expressive. Immense volume and great body. A wine with great delicacy and goes against the grain in that it is ripe for lengthy storage."
It’s hard to believe Pazo de Señorans have been making wine for a mere 28 years. Owned by the husband and wife team Soledad Bueno and Javier Mareque, they have become the leading producer of Albariño in Rias Baixas and are widely recognised as one of Spain’s finest producers. They have won international acclaim for their mineral-driven Albariños from their vineyards close to the Atlantic and for the fantastic ageing potential of these wines.
Selección de Añada continues to be the most celebrated white wine of Rias Baixas, if not all of Spain, demonstrating extraordinary quality, specifically from the area of Salnés. A wine whose release is eagerly anticipated each year and popularity only intensifies with the confidence of Pazo Señorans and global demand for Albariño at an all-time high. In December, Pazo Señorans entered Tim Atkin’s hall of fame with founder, Marisol Bueno, receiving his Winemaking Legend award – “Marisol Bueno runs Pazo de Señorans with her daughter Vicky and was the first ever President of the Denominación de Origen (Rías Baixas). Marisol is rightly referred to as “La Dama del Albariño”. Women all over Spain, not just in Rías Baixas, owe her a debt of gratitude.”
This single vineyard wine comes from 4 ha vineyard and vines that are over 45 years old and planted around the Los Bancales region.
The Seleccion Añada is unique for an Albariño in that it is aged on its lees in small steel tanks for up to 36 months or so. This demonstrates above all the ageing potential of Albariño, and Señorans in particular, that we think no other producer can mimic. Aged in stainless steel on its lees for over 30 months.
