Single Grape Tasting – Rare Vintages of Albariño from Spain’s Benchmark Winery

Discover how Albariño evolves with time in this rare tasting of Pazo Señorans’ legendary Selección de Añada — including two back vintages — hosted by Javier Izurieta.

From their 16th-century estate in Galicia’s coastal Rías Baixas, Pazo Señorans has redefined what Albariño can be. Shaped by Atlantic breezes and granite soils, their wines show a freshness that deepens into texture and complexity with time. At the centre is the renowned Selección de Añada — produced only in exceptional years and aged for more than 36 months on lees — now recognised as one of Spain’s benchmark whites.

This tasting is a rare chance to experience the story of Albariño across different stages, from the brightness of current releases to the layered complexity of two back vintages of Selección de Añada. These library wines are rarely poured outside the estate, making this an exceptional opportunity for anyone curious about how Albariño transforms with time. Guiding the evening will be Javier Izurieta from Pazo Señorans, who will share the estate’s philosophy and insight into why their wines have become a global reference for Rías Baixas.
