Lumière 2019Muchada-Léclapart - 75 cl.

An entry-level wine... and a top wine! Respectful of its terroir, elegant and complex. And with some ageing potential. Pazo means estate in Galician.

This is one of the historic domains of the Ribeiro region. Located in the Valle de Avia in the beautiful green interior of Galicia. Arsenio Paz was the founder and inspirer of the estate since 1977. In 2022, José Pariente decided to take over this small boutique winery as Arsenio had no successor. This is a small 6ha estate with a good 20,000 bottles of production. José Pariente's main aim is to continue Arsenio's legacy with respect for the region and terroir.

This "entry level wine" is really a top wine! Respectful of its terroir, elegant and complex, with a good ageing potentiel. Pazo means estate in the Galician language.

Tormenta is the successor to cult white wine "CAL". It is a vineyard of barely 0.8 ha of pure Godello. What is special is the terroir that consists mainly of chalk, very exceptional in Bierzo. This is therefore one of our most elegant and refined Godello. Top level.

This is only the second vintage of this cuvée since 2005.

The Lumière cuvée is made with the grapes of the estate’s best terroirs (La Platera, in Pago de Miraflores) and the oldest Palomino vines (60 years old). Here can one really get to feel all the complexity and minerality of Palomino. How come we had to wait for so long before we realised that this grape which produces magnificent sherry can also offer white, non-fortified wines with such a nice saltiness?

This wine was made for the first time in 2017. It is unique, as Rodri is the only one to make a single vineyard wine won this exceptional terroir: a 100 year-old vine planted on 3 metres of sans, 50 metres from the seaside at Arra, in Montalvo-Sanxenxo. Unique indeed.
