Attractive seashells, pears, peach skin and white blossoms on the nose. Deliciously saline with a chiseled, chalky texture on the midweight palate. Very well made. Drink now.
Torres Pazo das Bruxas Albarino Rias Baixas 2024
91 Points, James Suckling
This is the perfect wine for holiday gatherings – and I mean perfect. Its high acidity and moderate body make it an ideal bridge wine that cuts through rich, fatty appetizers like pâté or cheese, stands up to seafood courses like oysters and shrimp cocktail, and even pairs beautifully with poultry dishes. It won’t get lost next to powerful holiday flavors.
And unlike some heavy winter reds or creamy oak-aged whites, Albariño offers a burst of fresh, lifted aromatics and lively acidity that cleanses the palate during lengthy holiday meals. It’s also an excellent aperitif to start the celebration. Suckling perfectly called the wine out as “Deliciously saline with a chiseled, chalky texture on the mid-weight palate.” That my friends, is the kind of white you want around for the holiday season!

MORE INFO
When you talk about consistency and excellence in Spanish winemaking, one name stands out to me above all. The Torres Family has been a staple in the region for centuries and their holdings are insane. But their relentless pursuit of excellence and commitment to quality is why they’re consistently Drink International’s ‘most admired wine brand in Europe.’
They also make some of my favorites values, from the Secret del Priorat to the Celeste ‘Sur Lies’ Verdejo to today’s ‘Pazo de Bruxas’ Albarino. These wines represent some of our most requested wines, which is pretty considerable when you take into account that they’re all Tuesday nighters.
The Pazo de Bruxas is a particularly bright classic. It comes from the red-hot coastal region of Rias Baixas that is responsible for most of your favorite Albarinos. These wines aren’t light, fruity numbers; they’re more crisp and minerally, with a creamy middle and a lot of depth for a white wine.
