Pazos de Lusco
Spain
The Lusco estate is located within the D.O. of Rias Baixas in the Condado do Tea sub-zone of Pontevedra. The entire six hectare expanse is planted with Alberiño vines. This area is very difficult to farm as it is susceptible to a wide range of climatic conditions. The weather can vary from hot and dry to cold and wet. Luckily the soil has a high level of decomposed granite allowing for excellent drainage. Total production averages only six thousand cases of exceptional white wines.
