Pazo de San Mauro Albariño

The Pazo de San Mauro, originally owned by the Spanish-Portuguese noble family Pereira de Castro, descendants of King Sancho I of Portugal, was built in 1591 and vine growing has always been part of its history, making it one of the oldest wineries in Europe.

The vineyards stretch out over the 30-hectare estate on terraces of boulders with a granite subsoil, which descend towards the river Miño. The combination of sandy soil on the bank of the river and the boulders and granite bedrock on the slopes and higher parts of the property, provides excellent conditions for the growth of this distinctive local variety of grape.

Handpicked harvest with a strict fruit selection in the vineyard. Pazo de San
Mauro is made using three types of vinification: maceration of 1/3 of the
grapes at low temperature , 1/3 whole bunch pressing and 1/3 direct pressing.
Alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks during 10-15 days at controlled
temperature, always looking for the typicity and varietal expression of our own
vineyard.

Characterised by a high aromatic intensity
with an expressive, fresh and very fruity bouquet. It offers clearly defined varietal
aromas of green apple and citric scents and presents plenty of minerality and
vivacity on the palate, with hints of lemon, grapefruit and apple, a silky sensation
and a persistent finish. An especially Atlantic style vintage, very mineral and
refreshing.
