Pazo de Señoráns Seleccion de Anada 2013 | ewineasia.com

Pazo de Señorans Selección de Añada is exquisiteness culmination, pretty intrepid, since only best harvests, capable of ageing in deposit with their lees, can be selected. A wine designed to mature in the bottle for a long time and to evolve. For this reason the grape is to come from very special plots located in Los Bancales, granitic and sandy soils, able to absorb Galicia rainfall, with the roots taking not more than necessary amount of water. It is only possible in certain plots, on 12 hectares in total.

Made with 100% Albariño, the grape was selected by hand in the very vineyard and there the grapes that did not meet the right conditions were discarded. It was transported in small plastic boxes to the wine cellar and then underwent clusters film maceration prior to its fermentation in order to obtain more aromas and a stronger character, followed by controlled alcoholic fermentation at 16 degrees.

2014 Albariño Selección de Añada could be the finest vintage of this characterful long-aging Albariño, from a year with a more moderate 13% alcohol and very high acidity (and low pH) that make the wine fresher and more vibrant. It is developing very slowly and showing quite young after it spent over 30 months with lees in 1,500- and 3,000-liter stainless steel tanks. It has a pale color and an elegant nose with notes of freshly cut grass, white flowers and wet granite. The palate is vibrant with effervescent acidity, and it has a long, dry and tasty finish with an austere sensation, far away from the tropical notes of some past vintages. This is superb and should continue developing nicely in bottle. It was bottled in April 2023, and 14,000 bottles were produced.
