Pazo de Señorans Albariño Rías Baixas 2011

Es 2002

a light lemon peel, hints of orange, very refreshing and easy to drink.

Pale yellow. Fruity nose, sweetness. Taste the bitterness, but not aggressively, enough to open the appetite. Smooth finish, not really on citrus rather notes of apple. This first contact with the Albariño grape is attractive and original. In the right direction: a wine of the Atlantic coast that I can not relate to the white French I know.

Although light in color, this wine from Rias Baixas is anything but that in bouquet and aroma. Party in a glass is what you get from the first sniff. Nose is vibrant and screams of honey, tropical notes with lemony undertones. The 2009 Pazo Senorans Albarino is intense, creamy and well-balanced with an enjoyable crisp finish.

Pale gold color to this wine with a nose that seems to call for your attention while giving a riff on what it means to be a peach. Nectarine? Oh wait, melons from the south of France, orange and intense, ripe and rich. Or was it a mango in disguise, I love the indecision as I return to it for the next surprise. In the mouth I love the light spritz I'm getting with a strong streak of acidity down the middle. The wine is creamy and lush with great fruit, and nice body. Serious wine that can laugh at itself, you want to contemplate this with some rich white fleshed fish and skip the sauce. I think it would dance along side what you paired with it, sharing secrets as you enjoyed the duo. Give me more, oh wait there's that peach again!

Aromas of lemon meringue and white peach. Nice depth and layers of fruit. Very intensely flavored and clean and refreshing. Pure finish and lingers like a heavier red. - Tasted at Marché Bacchus 5/1/10

First impression, big apricot aromas, followed by notes of straw, white peach, juicy green melon and a hint of ripe banana. Wait, add a touch of butter cream in there too. Wow, great acidity, but not overwhelming, rather like tasting a gentle wave of minerals lap over your tongue leaving a gentle green apple and a creamy white peach finish. I'm craving this wine with a pile of fresh shrimp showered with fresh lemon
