Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
I think the 2014 Albariño Selección de Añada could be the finest vintage of this characterful long-aging Albariño, from a year with a more moderate 13% alcohol and very high acidity (and low pH) that make the wine fresher and more vibrant. It is developing very slowly and showing quite young after it spent over 30 months with lees in 1,500- and 3,000-liter stainless steel tanks. It has a pale color and an elegant nose with notes of freshly cut grass, white flowers and wet granite. The palate is vibrant with effervescent acidity, and it has a long, dry and tasty finish with an austere sensation, far away from the tropical notes of some past vintages. This is superb and should continue developing nicely in bottle. Bravo! It wasn't bottled until April 2023, and 14,000 bottles were produced.

Description
Some wines have the capacity to transport. They not only take us to a region, but also to a history, to a way of understanding time. Pazo Señorans Selección de Añada is one of those wines. It is not just any Albariño, but the result of a philosophy where patience is key and the expression of the terroir is a priority.
The Pazo Señorans winery, located in the heart of the Salnés Valley, in the heart of the Rías Baixas, has been proving for decades that Albariño can age gracefully. Its vineyards, with vines over 45 years old, grow on granite and sandy soils, absorbing the mineral character of the land and the Atlantic influence that defines the region.
Winemaking
Harvesting at Pazo Señorans Selección de Añada is done by hand, a detail that makes the difference. Only the healthiest clusters reach the stainless steel tanks, where the wine ferments at a low temperature to preserve its freshness. And here comes the interesting part: instead of being bottled quickly, the wine rests for more than 30 months on its lees. This long contact gives it a depth and texture that takes it away from the typical Albariño, taking it to a completely different dimension.
Taste
If the colour is a preview of what is to come, Pazo Señorans Selección de Añada does not disappoint: bright straw yellow, with golden reflections that announce its maturity. As we bring the glass closer, the first notes are subtle but evocative: ripe fruit, a touch of peach, some citrus, and that unmistakable mineral background that reminds us of the granite soil.
On the palate Pazo Señorans Selección de Añada is where it really shines. It has a silky texture, with a vibrant acidity that balances its complexity. It is ample, with a long and persistent finish, leaving a memory of saline freshness that invites another sip. It is not a wine to be uncorked in a hurry. It is an Albariño that begs to be enjoyed calmly, like a conversation that drags on because you simply don't want it to end.
