Pazo SeƱorans is one of the most iconic and respected wine producers in Spain and the Estate has played a central role in elevating AlbariƱo to the level of world-class white wines.
SelecciĆ³n de AƱada is a benchmark AlbariƱo and one of Spainās most distinguished white wines. A masterclass in complexity, elegance, and longevity; it is aged extensively on lees, showcasing the extraordinary aging potential of AlbariƱo from the granitic soils of the SalnĆ©s Valley. After the 2013 vintage scored a perfect 100 points, the following year it was also the highest-scoring white wine from the 2014 vintage in the GuiĢa PenĢiĢn.
The 2015 which is magnificent (i had a bottle 10 days ago in Valencia!) Recently was voted Best in Show, 97pts at the 2026 Decanter Wine Awards. Sadly we have just sold out but the 2016 is due end September 2026 and is considered by the winery to be every much as good!
One of Spain's mostĀ anticipatedĀ fine white wine releases.Ā Awarded anĀ 'Excellent' classification by theĀ RĆasĀ BaixasĀ Regulatory Council, the 2016 vintage was shaped by a cool, balanced growing season, an exceptionally healthy harvest and slow, even ripening. Warm days and cool nights producedĀ AlbariƱoĀ of remarkable aromatic purity, vibrant naturalĀ acidityĀ and outstanding concentrationāthe ideal foundations for one of Spain's greatest age-worthy white wines.
Produced exclusively from the estate's old-vine Los Bancales vineyard and matured for more than three years on its lees before extended bottle ageing, SelecciĆ³n de AƱada continues to redefine what AlbariƱo is capable of. Now, more than a decade after harvest, the 2016 displays the hallmark complexity that has made this wine one of Spain's benchmark white wines, with layers of graphite, baked orchard fruit, citrus peel and saline minerality balanced by extraordinary freshness, precision and length.
Tasting NoteĀ
Bright pale straw with green highlights. The expressive nose combines graphite, wet stone and refined kerosene notes with baked apple, quince, ripeĀ mangoĀ and dried apricot, underpinned by the distinctive minerality of theĀ SalnĆ©sĀ Valley's granitic soils. Rich and creamy yet beautifully poised, the palate balances remarkable concentration with vibrant acidity, leading to a long, saline finish with citrus peel, fresh balsamicĀ energyĀ and subtle toasted complexity. A wine of outstanding balance that will continue to evolve for many years.
