100% Albarino
Interestingly enough this 20 hectare, hilly, fairy-tale spread known as Pazo Baión was recently the personal residence of a drug lord for several decades before being seized by the Spanish government and auctioned off to the highest bidder. Evidence of Albariño plantings on this property go back to the year 1731, and in the 1970s (pre-drug lord takeover). Highly aromatic and clean, dominated by orange blossom and jasmine, with a strong backbone of citrus (grapefruit) and white fruit (apple, pear). Medium-bodied, fresh, and balanced with high acidity, a creamy or unctuous texture, and a distinct mineral/saline edge.
Long, elegant, and persistent, with the floral and citrus notes remaining prominent. 14% ABV
