Pazos de Lusco Albarino

Lusco: setting sun, twilight.
Made from carefully selected Albariño grapes and hand harvested. Fermented with native yeasts and left to age on the fine lees for five months. The resulting wine is bright, full and rounded on the palate.

Nothing beats a good sunset. Particularly one enjoyed overlooking the wild Atlantic coastline of northern Spain, with a cool glass of crisp refreshing albariño in hand. We love our sunsets so much we named this wine ‘Lusco' - the Galician word for sunset - in homage to those fleeting moments that catch our breath, when the light dances on the horizon and the sun sinks below the waves.
Made from Albariño grapes, hand-picked with love and fermented with care. No animal products used, so suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

Please drink responsibly: The UK Chief Medical Officers recommend adults do not regularly drink more than 14 units per week

After primary fermentation, the wine is macerated with its skin for another ten days to achieve greater smoothness and intensity of flavors. Finally, the wine is racked to neutral oak barrels and aged for 8 months.
