Bodegas Pentecostés Rías Baixas Albariño 2021 (6 Bottles) Rias Biaxas, Spain

by Fine Wine Cellars

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

Drawn from the granite terraces of the Pazo de Barreiro, this a wonderfully taut and racy style of Albariño with mouth-watering acidity around a dense core of fleshy fruit, with a marked salinity on the impressively long finish.

Expect mouth-watering, chiselled texture, flavours of grapefruit, citrus pith and jasmine and lovely drive and energy.

Oceanic Riesling? This will age and build complexity as it goes, but it’s the kind of wine that will instantly wow alongside any seafood—first class.

The winemaking for both Pentecostés wines is effectively the same. The grapes are hand-harvested and stored overnight at 10 degrees, and slow fermentations take place at cellar temperature in stainless-steel tanks, with a small portion of the harvest fermented in French oak.

The wines are then raised on lees, undisturbed, for six months.

About Bodegas Pentecostés

Hidden in the Miñor Valley (Pontevedra), among lush Atlantic forests, Pazo Barreiro and Pazo de Moldes coexist, today linked to each other, to produce a unique white wine with Rías Baixas designation of origin.

Built at the end of the 17th/18th century, it sits at the top of a semicircular plot of land with a steep slope. A large part of our wine production is born here, more than 10,000 vines that descend in stages through the 3.7 hectares of land and ideal climate, protected from the North by Monte Castelo.

Another part of our production is nourished by the lands of Pazo de Moldes, also called Pousa de San Blas; Its history dates back to the 13th/14th century. The manor house stands on top of a 3.4 hectare plot of land. Its chapel, in honor of San Blas, with the coat of arms of the Suárez de Deza family, completes the architectural complex where our Winery is located.

We aim to source the most delicious, the most authentic, and the highest quality products possible from Australia and around the world in order to offer them to our clients. We live or die by how well we perform this task. Of course things are rarely as simple or as easy as they seem. Hunting for wines & spirits is no different. Apart from the months spent travelling, countless days and evenings spent tasting and the outrageous wine expenditure in the name of ‘research’, sourcing quality wine and spirits requires expertise and experience. Understanding the potential of a producer and their products is much more than just a slurp and a spit.
