Pazo Torre Penelas 21 Granito Albarino Do Rias Baixas 2021

Layers of history and time are embedded in the solid granite walls of Pazo Torre Penelas, one of the oldest estates in the Valle del Salnés. The tower, chapel, and raised granary – hórreo in Galician – recall a time of splendour, while the beautiful trellised vineyards around the property reveal a deeply rooted vinicultural tradition. The wine is made 100% from estate-grown grapes. It ferments and remains on its lees for eight months in eggshaped granite vats. These unique vessels heighten the briny expression of the Albariño while simultaneously forging a historical connection to the ancestral vinification techniques of the Roman period, a time when granite wine presses were already in use in this area.
