2006 Pazo de Senorans Albarino Rias Baixas

From Celtic Galicia in the northwest corner of Spain comes this consistently beautiful Albarino. Bone-dry and minerally, the 2006 Pazo de Senorans is crisp, yet delicate. Owner-winemaker Marisol Bueno favors stainless steel over wood and ages her Albarino on its lees.

This wonderfully subtle wine is great with seafood, particularly lobster and other crustaceans, steamed mussels and clams, and crudo.
