Torres Pazo das Bruxas Albariño 2023/24 (6 Bottles) Penedès, Spain

Torres Pazo das Bruxas Albariño 2023 (Rías Baixas, Galicia, Spain) – expertly crafted under winemaker Víctor Cortizo, this striking Albariño hails from the Val do Salnés and O’Rosal subregions of Galicia’s Atlantic-influenced Rías Baixas. Bright straw-gold in the glass, it exudes intensely floral notes with vivid citrus – think white peach, lemon jam, pineapple preserves – complemented by white flowers and saline minerality. Fresh, clean, and lively on the palate, the wine maintains balanced acidity, a persistent mineral thread, and a seductive mid-palate blossom. Scored 90 points by both Decanter WWA and James Suckling, it’s a refined, food-friendly Albariño – citrussy, elegant, and perfect with seafood or as an aperitif.
