Absolut fascinerende og simpelthen fænomenal! Selv i glasset imponerer denne Albariño med sin lyse, næsten fluorescerende strågule farve. Næsen afslører en dyb, utrolig kompleks aroma af poleret præcision: moden frugt, hvide blomster og delikate rosenblade blander sig med urter, honning og citrongræs. Men den virkelige magi kommer fra terroirets dybder - en ædel røget reduktion, flint, kridtagtige østersskaller og en salt atlanterhavsbrise giver bouqueten vinger. De mange års lagring på bundfaldet i over 30 måneder på tank giver vinen en storslået kompleksitet og en fin, cremet smag, som klarer sig uden brug af træ. I smagen oplever vi en fascinerende klar, subtil og samtidig sødmefuld frugt af modne grønne æbler, saftig grapefrugt og hyldeblomst. Vinen er fuldstændig harmonisk, dyb og kompakt, båret af en uimodståelig, levende granitenergi. På trods af en fin ekstraktsødme og perfekt modenhed forbliver den spektakulært stram, saftig og energisk takket være en knivskarp, velsmagende race og fantastisk friskhed. Et monument over struktur og finesse, som ubesværet gør krav på en plads blandt de allerbedste hvidvine i Spanien. Da denne ekstremt langtidsholdbare og enestående vin har brug for meget tid til at nå sit ideelle nydelsespotentiale, kommer den først på markedet ca. 10 år efter høsten. Et strålende klart, elegant mesterværk for eftertiden. Bravo!

Parker om: Pazo de Senorans Blanco Seleccion Anada Albarino

The 2015 Albariño Selección de Añada is nothing short of phenomenal. For some reason, I hadn't tasted the young 2015 Albariño at the time it was released. It comes from the Los Bancales vineyard planted some 50 years ago and fermented with indigenous yeasts but without malolactic fermentation. It has a bright, almost fluorescent color and a complex, subtle and nuanced, elegant and expressive nose, with notes of sea shells and sea breeze, grass and white flowers. It's very clean, and the palate shows great balance and even feels a bit young. It has remarkable acidity and freshness (seven grams of tartaric acid) with good ripeness and 13% alcohol. This matured in tank with lees for over 30 months and was bottled in June 2024. It feels more serious and less exotic than earlier vintages. 18,000 bottles produced. This is the finest vintage that I can remember. Bravo!

Tim Atkin om: Pazo de Senorans Blanco Seleccion Anada Albarino

The latest in a superb trio of Selección de Añada releases, this unwooded, effortlessly long-lived Albariño deserves its place among the best white wines in Spain. Still remarkably sprightly and energetic at ten years of age, it’s a sappy, salty, tangy delight, showing impressive extract and concentration, flavours of lime and elderflower, some stony reduction and lots of granitic energy. Brilliant stuff.

Decanter om: Pazo de Senorans Blanco Seleccion Anada Albarino

This is the fifth appearance of a Rias Baixas Albariño in our Best in Show selection, and triumphantly endorses local traditions for long lees ageing followed by bottle age: the wine is now in its eleventh year since the fine 2015 harvest. Our previous winners had been aged for 9, 5, 2 and just 1 year; indeed the popularity of this ‘heroic viticulture’ category means that there is now intense commercial pressure to hurry the wines to market, so classical long-aged alternatives can be hard to find. Pour it into the glass, though, and you'll be amazed: the colour is still pale gold, while the aromas are fresh though complex: expect notes of nectarine, apricot, honeysuckle and citrus zest. The only clue to the wine's age is its mushroomy aromatic back-tones. On the palate, age has brought softness and amplitude but the cut-stone acidity has kept its buoyant freshness; the delicacy and charm remain uncompromised while the stony finesse almost seems to emerge more memorably with time. A masterclass in regional tradition.
