Pazo Baión is a persistent, aromatic and tasty wine, according to critics who have used several adjectives to describe it

We could not live without adjectives. These wonderful and expressive words allow us to describe the world. How do we say that wine has amazed us, conquering our palate with all its goodness? For example, by describing it as a tasty wine.

Adjectives reach their full value when we do not use them to refer to ourselves. It is not the same to say to yourself that you are intelligent as the fact that a person with a solid criterion categorizes you in this way. For this reason, in our winery, we do not want to enunciate an endless number of adjectives about the latest vintage of Pazo Baión. Who better than the experts to dissect the soul of this Albariño?

Today we invite you to tour the universe of adjectives of Pazo Baión, which is not only a tasty wine but also a fascinating wine with its micro-universe of adjectives.

Brilliant to the eye

The visual phase is the first approach to any wine. A first contact that tells us many details about the wine’s origin. In this life, everything enters us first, through the eyes. Wines, food, places… and even people. That is why it is important that the color of the wine is attractive and that, at the same time, it is a mirror of its soul.

This is the case of Pazo Baión. The Peñín Guide highlights its bright straw color. A tonality that allows us to observe that we are in front of an Albariño. And that shows the importance of the grape in the final result. It could not be otherwise when talking about the only single-estate Albariños. That is wines made solely and exclusively with grapes from the vineyards that make up the property of Pazo Baión.

The bright straw color of this Rías Baixas is beautiful and shows all the work that has been carried out from the vine to the aging.
