92 Points from Tim Atkin
The Pazo Señorans 2023 Albariño from Rías Baixas pours a luminous straw yellow with greenish glints, offering medium aromatic intensity and a refined, varietally expressive nose. Aromas of nectarine, fresh figs, orange zest, jasmine, and white flowers unfold with elegance, while the palate delivers a vibrant burst of citrus—lime, lemon zest, and grapefruit—balanced by white peach and a subtle herbaceous touch. Its firm acidity and creamy texture create a satisfying mouthfeel, leading to a mineral-driven finish that expands and deepens with each sip. This Albariño pairs beautifully with seafood, sushi, grilled mushrooms, and fresh goat cheese, enhancing both delicate and umami-rich dishes with its crisp, refreshing profile.
Produced by one of Rías Baixas’ most respected estates, Pazo Señorans, the 2023 vintage reflects the winery’s commitment to quality and terroir. Grapes are sourced from over 500 micro-parcels on decomposed granite soils, hand-harvested and fermented in stainless steel with extended lees contact for added complexity. Winemaker Ana Quintela’s meticulous approach has earned the wine 92 points from Tim Atkin in his 2024 Rías Baixas Special Report, praising its impressive focus and freshness despite a hot, dry growing season. With its balance of power and finesse, the 2023 Albariño continues to affirm Pazo Señorans’ reputation as a benchmark producer in the region.
