Tasting Notes
Colour: Straw yellow colour, clean and bright.
Nose: A very intense nose, dominated by hints of fresh fruit, apple and citrus notes. It stands out for its finesse and intensity.
Palate: A very rounded wine with just the right amount of acidity, but at the same time fresh and intense, all of which is provided by the climate of our Condado do Tea sub-zone. Harmonious, elegant, it invites you to keep drinking. As is characteristic, Lusco’s work on the lees gives it roundness, fat and maturity. Perfect with seafood and fish, such as hake or turbot. Serve between 9º and 11ºC.
Grape Varieties: 100% Albariño
History of Pazos de Lusco
The Pazos de Lusco winery, within the Rias Baixas DO, is located in the municipality of Salvaterra do Miño, in the province of Pontevedra. The Rias Baixas DO in Galicia in north-west Spain is a small wine-growing region that
covers a mere 400 hectares. Pazos de Lusco is found in the Condado de Tea production area in the south of the region, 40km from the coast.
Pazos de Lusco Albariño is brimming with fruit, harmonious and well balanced. Production is limited, with natural methods being used from the selecting and picking of the grapes and traditional wine making methods during the vinification including fermentation by natural yeasts. The name of the winery is typically Galician. A pazo is a traditional Galician ancestral home usually in the country side. Lusco is an idiomatic Galician word that defines the magical moment between dusk and nightfall when the sun is going down.
