Pazo Pondal Albarino showcases an elegant symphony of aromas that delicately blend floral and fruity notes. With a mouthful of richness and a refreshingly acidic character, this wine boasts flavourful touches of lemon, pear, peach, and aromatic floral notes, along with a suggestion of saltpeter and minerality. The finish is long-lasting, highlighting its unique personality.

About the Producer

Pazo Pondal is a family winery founded in 1998. We are located in Arbo (Pontevedra), one of the best sub-regions for Ras Baixas D.O. Albario.

Our family winery has a history of striving to produce wines that express their terroir, wines that are full of the fruit and floral aromas that characterise the complexity and style of Pazo Pondal wines.

“Our goal is to ensure that there is minimal risk of the wines aromatic and organoleptic properties being altered through exposure of the grapes to certain chemical products. We are seeking to obtain organic grapes in a sustainable and balanced manner, preserving the fertility of the soil and respecting the biodiversity of the environment. Everyone working for us and with us strives to achieve this sustainability objective.”

Vineyard and Winery

Traditional viticulture and production, sustainable with organic practises. The vineyards are carefully treated without herbicides using processed natural fertilisers from the winery with remains of grape bagasse. Plots selected from old vines over 30 years old. After fermentation with native yeasts the wine is aged on its own fine lees for 8 months.

Pazo Pondal is a complex Albario, a blend of three different winemaking styles, aging on double lees and French oak barrel. The result is the maximum expression of the varietal character of an Albario de Rias Baixas.
