13. Listopadu 2018 Rías Baixas area is legendary

Rías Baixas is the Spanish Denominación de Origen (DO) for wines located in the province of Pontevedra and in the south of the province of Corunna in the autonomous region of Galicia in Spain. It is famous for its white wines made from the Albariño variety. Its headquarters are located in Pontevedra.

It was believed that the Albariño grapes were introduced to the area in the 12th century by the Cistercian monks of the Armenian monastery.

The so-called Rosalia and Condado have a long history of grape and wine production, boasting their own traditional styles. The Salnés sub-area has recently started producing Albariño wines for local sale in bars and restaurants.

Rías Baixas received the official status of Denominación de Origen (DO) in 1988. It replaced the "Denominación Específica Albariño" status, which was granted in 1980.

Pazo de Señoráns

We returned to Pazo de Señoráns in time. Our winery, the old mansion, is a magnificent example of the houses of the Galician houses (XVI centuries) built in the countryside with all the spells and history of the past.

Pazo and the winery, originally owned by Marisol Bueno and Javier Mareque, are now in the hands of their four sons and daughters, Marisol, Vicky, Javier and Santiago, who began their viticulture career in 1989.

The origins of the name Pazo de Señoráns are legendary, but the true origin is so far all secrets.

The fine, pale yellow wine full of flavor comes from the Pazo Señorans from DO Rías Baixas. The grapevine used to make this delicious wine comes from the lowlands near the sea, which affects the resulting grape taste as well as the clay subsoil. After manual grape harvesting, the maceration is done together with the peels and subsequent fermentation at a controlled temperature of 16 ° C. The wine matures for at least 5 months in the tanks and then for another 30 months in a bottle.
