Ratings & Reviews

93 Points - Vinous:
"The 2024 Pazo de Seoane from O Rosal, Rías Baixas, blends 81% Albariño, 12% Loureiro, 5% Treixadura and 2% Caiño Blanco. With the hallmark of O Rosal, it opens with tuberose, rose, pear, peach and linden, leading to a broad, textured palate of contained freshness, depth and enveloping flow. The 2024 is a serious, well-achieved expression."

93 Points - James Suckling:
"Sharp and steely on the nose, with green apples, citrus and white peaches, accented by sea breeze and oyster shells. The palate is medium- to full-bodied, combining substance and tension with a subtle saline thread that carries through the finish. Incisive and structured, with precision and clarity. Fermented and aged in stainless steel. Drink now."

92 Points - Jeb Dunnuck:
"The 2024 Pazo De Seoane is a blend of white grapes grown in O Rosal – 81% Albariño, 12% Loureira, 5% Treixadura, and 2% Carino Blanco. The varieties are picked and fermented separately. It's a highly aromatic wine because of the Loureira, which imparts bay leaf and floral aromatics. The Treixadura contributes great acidity and medium-bodied layers of stone fruit, while the Carino Blanco is a grape native to O Rosal that was almost lost, special because of its mouthfeel and acidity. There's terrific tension and length to this wine. Drink now."
