This award for Best Young White Wine of Spain 2024, presented on January 20 at the Cofidis Alcázar Theater in Madrid, joins the outstanding scores that Pazo Baión has garnered in the 2024 editions of the prominent specialized publications.

The Gourmets Wine Guide and the Proensa Guide awarded this fruity and fresh Rías Baixas 94 points. The former described Pazo Baión as a “powerful wine, with an unctuous attack, a very well-assembled skeleton, enveloping and persevering in the retronasal plane”. While the second highlighted that the Best Young White Wine of Spain 2024 is “balanced, glyceric, smooth, fluid and tasty”.

Joaquin Hidago's notes in Vinous for the prior 2023 vintage (today we offer the just-now-ready-for-release 2024) are spot on:

"The 2023 Albariño Pazo Baión from Salnés in Rías Baixas presents a lightly ripe profile, with apple and tangerine peel aromas showing a subtle reduction and gentle floral note. Smooth, fresh and creamy on the palate, it gains freshness and fruit expression with air. The 2023 is expressive and inviting. 92 points. (reviewed at $35)." - Joaquin Hidalgo, Vinous 9/25
