What to Expect

Albariño is a grape indigenous to the border region that separates Spain from Portugal, where the grape is know as Alvarino. It produces a medium to light-bodied white wine that is rich with peach and citrus fruits while the aromas tend to the floral and slightly nutty end of the spectrum. The wines have bright acidity and an easy-drinking quality that has propelled them to new heights of popularity.

Winemakers Notes

Tasting Notes: Brilliant, pale yellow straw with greenish hues. The nose has an intense varietal character, ripe apples, peaches, citrus and floral notes with all the splendid characteristics of the Albarino grape. Very fruity and full on the palate, fresh citrus and tropical fruits dominate, well balanced, good body and acidity with a lingering floral finish. Oz Clarke writes: nice mix of lemon and mineral flavours and bright zesty quality. A very attractive direct style.

Percentage Grape: Pazo San Mauro, a Single Estate, are located in Porto-Salvatierra de Mino overlooking read more...the Rio Mino which forms the border between Spain and Portugal. They are in the most southerly and mountainous subzone, Condado de Tea, within the DO Rias Baixas, in the province of Pontevedra. A winding road leads to the winery that is surrounded by an almost hermetic forest of Atlantic pines. The Atlantic environment of this area is the natural habitat of the Albarino, practically the only conditions in which it may be grown.

Growing Climate: Their vineyards, rising up in wide terraces from the Rio Mino, form a large natural south-facing amphitheatre enjoying an exceptional microclimate in this most southern and sunniest area, allowing a more complete and early maturity.
