2017 Pazo de Senorans Tras Los Muros

Bodegas Senorans is located in Vilanovina, in the valley of the Rio Salnes, east of Pontevedra in the RÃas Baixas. The domain was bought in 1979 by Marisol Bueno (President of the Rias Consejo) and her husband Javier Mareque. A lot of money was invested in replanting the vineyards. Everything was cleared and replanted with Albarino grapes, which give such amazing results here. In 1989, they again invested heavily to completely renew the production means and so they got access to the newest and most modern means to produce wine. The first harvest was in 1990. In 1992 the young and promising oenologist Ana Quintela was brought into the firm and since then the wines have been on an annual increase in quality. Pazo de Senorans is always the last to start the harvest. They harvest with a higher sugar content than the other Bodegas. This results in optimal and evenly ripe grapes with ultimately more aromas and flavors and less aggressive acids. Harvesting is only done by hand (which is by the way the only possible way because the vines are planted in pergola shape). and then the grapes are also selected by hand. We work with lower yields than elsewhere in order to obtain more concentration and with a very slow fermentation. This is also the only way to age the wines, because although in Spain people only want to drink the AlbariÃ±o young, this Pazo de SeÃ±orans has a very nice aging potential.
