PACO & LOLA De-Alcoholised Albarino - Rias Baixas Bottle

Paco y Lola is a modern, vibrant producer from the Rías Baixas DO in Galicia, best known for lively Albariño that pairs bright fruit with saline freshness. The project began in the early 21st century with the Seage family, who sought to combine careful viticulture in the Salnés subregion with a contemporary, design led brand aesthetic that would broaden appeal for Rías Baixas wines.

Ownership and leadership remain with the Seage family. Miguel Seage is closely associated with the technical direction and winemaking, working with a compact cellar team to translate vineyard quality into approachable wines that nevertheless reflect the region natural acidity and minerality. The family approach allows for agile vineyard decisions and a focused quality brief aimed at producing pure, fruit forward Albariño at scale.

Vineyards supplying Paco y Lola are concentrated in low lying sites near the estuaries of the Rías, where sandy and alluvial soils and cooling Atlantic breezes favour slow ripening and retention of fresh acidity. The estate sources fruit from selected growers and manages parcels to encourage healthy canopy balance and precise ripeness. Vineyard practice places emphasis on hand harvesting and gentle handling to preserve aromatic lift.

Winemaking is modern and precise. Grapes are pressed gently and fermentations are temperature controlled to protect primary aromas of stone fruit, citrus and white flowers. Short lees contact and careful racking lend texture without masking clarity. Some cuvees receive extended lees ageing to enhance mouthfeel, while others are bottled early to preserve crisp freshness. The technical team uses stainless steel and large neutral vessels primarily, reserving oak maturation for experimental or limited release bottlings.
