Produced by Pazo Pondal
Pazo Pondal is a family winery founded in 1998. It is located in Arbo (Pontevedra), one of the best sub-regions for Rías Baixas D.O. Albariño.
The family winery has a history of striving to produce wines that express their terroir, wines that are full of the fruit and floral aromas that characterise the complexity and style of Pazo Pondal wines.
The estate, located on the north bank of the Río Miño, includes 15 hectares of trellised vineyards where they cultivate their Albariño, the Galician grape par excellence, with great care and dedication.
Their forefathers from Germany were unknowingly the architects of this dream. In 1976, the family began the tradition of growing grapes, especially Albariño, devoting a lifetime to viticulture and transmitting passion, respect, and good practice to a whole generation of children and grandchildren.
Tasting Notes
With great intensity on the nose, the wine offers aromas of stone fruit, citrus notes, and a subtle hint of fennel. Mineral notes intertwine, adding depth that enhances its complexity. On the palate, it presents a round and generous texture while always maintaining its freshness. Citrus memories and minerality
persist, while the aging on lees provide a velvety smoothness, a delicate touch of sweetness, and an overall harmony that lingers on the palate.
