Lagar de Fornelos Pazo de Seoane O' Rosal Rías Baixas DO 0,75 ℓ

What type of wine is itPazo de Seoane by Lagar de Fornelos is a white wine produced in the Rías Baixas region of Galicia, created from a skilful blend of Albariño, Loureiro, Caiño Blanco, and Treixadura. It stands out for its fresh and elegant profile, capable of combining high aromatic intensity with clear technical precision. The aging process includes resting on fine lees with regular bâtonnage, which enhances the body before the final blending. The result is a glass that reflects a deep territorial identity, able to combine structure and great drinking pleasure.Where it comes fromThe grapes come from estate-owned vineyards located in the Val do Rosal, within the Rías Baixas region in the northwest of Spain. The entire area is heavily influenced by a strong Atlantic footprint, whose maritime influence defines the freshness and vibrant tension of the white wine. Proximity to the coast fosters the development of extremely crisp aromatic profiles that enhance the characteristics of the cultivated native varieties. This unique Galician ecosystem gives the blend its typical floral, fruity, and citrus nuances.How it is producedThe winemaking process begins with a careful manual harvest, followed by a quick optical berry selection and cooling of the must to low temperatures. To preserve aromatic integrity, pressing occurs in an inert atmosphere to protect the juice from oxidation. Next, fermentations are carried out separately for each variety, a choice that respects the distinctiveness of each grape. The process ends with lees aging enriched by regular bâtonnage, a method that gives volume to the body before the final blend.Tasting notesIn the glass, it displays a bright greenish yellow hue, brilliant and inviting. The aromatic profile opens with intense floral notes typical of the Loureiro grape, intertwined with clear fruity hints of apricot and crisp apple offered by Albariño. In the background, delicate citrus nuances and a pronounced mineral vein from Caiño Blanco can be detected. On the palate, it is lively and balanced, characterized by an elegant structure that leads the sip towards a persistent and refined finish.Food pairingsThe excellent gustatory tension makes this white wine the ideal companion for light appetizers and rich seafood dishes, as it enhances the delicacy of shellfish and fish fillets. Its pronounced aromatic intensity also makes it suitable with oriental cuisine, poultry-based entrees, and fresh cheeses. In keeping with the regional culinary tradition, it pairs perfectly with the traditional Galician-style octopus, but is equally enjoyable with seafood pastas and delicately flavoured risottos.When to serve itThis Galician expression is ideal for moments when you're looking for a fresh and balanced glass, which combines drinkability and aromatic depth. It is impeccably suited to start a meal and creates an inviting beginning for informal gatherings. Its long and savoury finish perfectly supports pairings throughout fish-based lunches and proves to be a smart choice for those seeking a subtle yet characterful wine experience.
