New. Drawn from the granite terraces of the Pazo de Barreiro within spitting distance of the Atlantic Ocean, this a wonderfully taut and mineral style of Albariño with mouth-watering acidity wrapped around a dense core of fleshy fruit. 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.

Look forward to mouth-watering, chiselled texture, flavours of pulpy orchard fruit, citrus pith and sea spray all cusped by pithy drive and zappy energy. Oceanic Riesling, perhaps.

This heart-starting Albariño will age and build complexity as it goes, but it’s the kind of wine that will instantly wow alongside any seafood.

“At first, smooth with a kind of marbled creaminess flecked with fennel and liquorice. White flowers, bitter citrus peel, and so, so salty. I can smell and taste the North Atlantic sea in this wine. But also flowers – it smells like the heather and gorse on those Galician cliffs. Intensely salty on the finish. So taut it could snap the sky in half. It really tastes of its place.” Tamlyn Currin, Jancis Robinson com

Description

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.
