Producer
Lagar de Pintos is a small family estate located in the Salnés Valley, the most northerly subzone of the Rías Baixas appellation. Today, the family’s 5.5 hectares of organically farmed Albariño is managed by sisters, Marta and Carmen Castro-Pintos, with the assistance of respected consultant viticulturalist Dominique Roujou de Boubée. Their traditional Galician ‘pazo’, or manor house, is a typical feature of the lush green countryside found here, just a few miles from the unspoilt beaches of the Atlantic coast. It has been in the Pintos family for four generations. Originally used as a farmstead where they kept sheep and cows, it wasn’t until the 1950s that their grandfather planted vines. Their father, Pepe Pintos, modernised the estate in the 1980s when the region started to embrace wine production following the revival of the Albariño grape variety.
Tasting Notes:
The nose is full of aromas of ripe fruit, aniseed herbs and toasted oak notes. On the palate, it has a complex texture and there is a saline trace on the finish which makes this a very flavourful and complex Albariño.
Serving Suggestions: Serve between 7°C and 12°C.
