The influence of Marisol Bueno and Javier Mareque on the founding of the DO Rías-Baixas and Albariño can be traced back to their purchase of Pazo Señorans in 1979. An ancient 16th century country estate, with kiwi orchards and old-vine vineyards. Located in the town of Meis, Pazo Señorans lies in close proximity to the sea on sandy soils created by the natural decomposition of the granitic bedrock below. Early on they recognized the potential of Albariño and were instrumental in the creation of the DO just a decade after they arrived in Meis.Through their work, the region gained international notoriety for producing a wonderful and intriguing white wine called Albariño.
"The 2022 Albariño is from granite soils in the Salnés Valley. It shows varietal character, freshly cut grass, white flowers and fruit and the roundness of the year, with 13.5% alcohol and balancing acidity. This is bottled after four to five months with lees. It has the Señorans signature. 192,000 bottles were produced." The Wine Advocate, 91 Points
