The aromatic Treixadura variety is a local variety of the Ribeiro region. This slow-ripening white variety can be sensitive, so site selection is paramount. The Pazo do Mar Treixadura vineyard is testament to this: the grapes for this wine come from the Torre do Olivar vineyard, a viticultural site which dates back to the Middle Ages. In 2002, the vineyard was replanted with the current Treixadura vines & the vineyard sits at an elevation of 150 metres above sea level on a meander of the Miño River, which has a moderating influence on the vines, as they have been oriented to encourage maximise exposure to the sun.

Producer Info: Founded by the Mendez Family in 2002, the Pazo do Mar winery is dedicated to the production of Galician wine from the native varieties of Albarino, Treixadura, Godello & Mencia. The vineyards are situated 150 metres above sea level on slate & granite soils & are influenced by the Atlantic Ocean. This family-run estate aspires to find the perfect balance between traditional values & an innovative & modern approach to winemaking, resulting in a collection of stunning wines with freshness, personality & good value.
