Familia Torres 'Pazo das Bruxas' - Albarino

The 2021 Albarino from Rias Baixas, Spain. Nestled in the far - northwest of Spain, Rias Baixas stands as the nation's chilliest and wettest wine area. It's the special home of the Albarino grape, and notably, it's one of the few Spanish wine regions that permit the grape's name on the label. 'Pazo de Bruxas' means 'House of Witches', a name inspired by Galician witch myths where they used to conjure spirits through magic and dance in old 'pazos' surrounded by forests and vineyards. On the palate, you'll taste bold notes of sliced apple, apricot, and lemon, complemented by the region's signature saltiness and a lively, chalky mineral flavor. This wine pairs perfectly with steamed mussels or shrimp risotto.
