Description
Bodegas Senorans is located in Vilanovina, in the Rio Salnes valley, east of Pontevedra in the Rías Baixas. The estate was purchased in 1979 by Marisol Bueno (president of the Rias Consejo) and her husband Javier Mareque. A lot of money was invested in replanting the vineyards. Everything was uprooted and replanted with Albarino grapes, which give such astonishing results here. In 1989, a further major investment was made to completely renew the production facilities and thus they obtained the latest and most modern means to produce wine. The first harvest was in 1990. In 1992, the young and promising oenologist Ana Quintela was brought into the company and since then the wines have shown an annual upward trend in terms of quality. Pazo de Senorans is always the last to start harvesting. They harvest with a higher sugar content than the other Bodegas. This results in optimally and evenly ripe grapes with ultimately more aromas and flavours and less aggressive acids. Harvesting is done exclusively by hand (which is the only possible way, because the vines are planted in pergola form). and then the grapes are also selected by hand. Lower yields are used than elsewhere to obtain more concentration and with a very slow fermentation. This is also the only way to age the wines, because although in Spain people only want to drink Albariño young, this Pazo de Señorans has a very nice ageing potential.
Tras los Muros is the new wine from Pazo de Señorans. Since the famous oenologist Berta García (known for Château Louis Latour and Château Haut-Brion) has been in charge at Pazo Senorans, Tras Los Muros was born. The wine is made with vines close to the winery, in the pazo, hence the name. With Los Muros, the excellence of the Albariño variety is once again shown. The fermentation and aging is done in oak barrels of different volumes, manufacturers and ages for 6 months. In addition, 6 months of aging in steel are added and it has a year of aging in the cellar. In the nose fresh aromas of ripe white fruit, floral notes, dried fruit and herbs with intense fresh fruit in the mouth, a perfect acidity and very complex with a pleasant bitterness in the aftertaste.

June 2020 Week 2, The Wine Advocate
One of the three new Albariño bottlings is the 2017 Tras los Muros, an oak-aged young Albariño from the vineyards with the property, from vines yielding 6.9 kilos per hectare (low for the region). It fermented and matured in 225-liter French oak barrels, which they say have a low percentage of new oak. I think probably any percentage of new oak and 225-liter barrels are too invasive for the aromatic and delicate profile of Albariño. This example comes through as creamy and oaky, and I don't really want to smell oak in my Albariño, well, I don't want to smell it in any wine, really, but I think in this case, even a little bit is too much and goes against the purity and the marine expression of the Salnés Valley. They had the wine in barrel for six months and did daily bâtonnage at first and then just weekly toward the end of the élevage. It spent a further six months in stainless steel before bottling. Maybe this will improve in bottle. Even though the wine is quite good, right now it's also a question mark. 2,750 bottles were filled in September 2018.

Pazo de Señorans is located in the wine region of Rias Baixas which is located in Galicia, all the northwest of Spain and north of Portugal. This area is famous for producing Spain's best white wines, Rias Baixas' Albariño. Like many regions in Galicia, the soil here is also completely made of granite. The top layer consists of sand, mainly crumbled granite particles. This ensures that there is perfect water drainage from the soils. At low yields, the granite soils also ensure a nice minerality in the grapes.
The first harvest was in 1990. In 1992, the young and promising oenologist Ana Quintela was brought into the company and since then the wines have seen an annual increase in quality. Pazo de Señorans is always the last to start the harvest. They harvest with a higher sugar content than the other Bodegas. All this results in optimally and evenly ripe grapes with ultimately more aromas and flavors and less aggressive acids. Harvest is done only by hand, which is a result of the Pergola plantation and then the grapes are also selected by hand.
It is not without reason that Ferran Adrià (formerly El Bulli) has chosen this wine as one of his 'open wines', the Pazo Senorans, for his new restaurant 'Tickets' in Barcelona.
