Pazo de Señorans
パソ・デ・セニョランス
The benchmark for age-worthy Albariño, built by Rías Baixas' founding DO president.
Founded in 1979 when Marisol Bueno and Javier Mareque purchased a 16th-century manor and its old-vine Albariño vineyards in Meis, at the heart of Rías Baixas' Val do Salnés subzone, Pazo de Señorans began bottling wine under its own label in 1989. Marisol Bueno went on to become the founding president of the Rías Baixas Denominación de Origen. Today the estate is widely regarded as the reference producer for age-worthy Albariño, built on extended lees aging in stainless steel and a single-varietal, terroir-driven philosophy centered on granite soils and Atlantic maritime influence.
