Ask Sofíaarrow_forwardTechnical sheet
Nose
Very clean and expressive bouquet of lime zest, white grapefruit and ripe white fruits — pear, green apple, white peach — lifted by delicate white blossom and orange flower notes.
Palate
Fresh and lively on the palate with a round, structured mouthfeel and bracing Atlantic acidity. Generous fruit weight balanced by mineral tension characteristic of Albariño.
Finish
Long, savoury and refreshingly clean finish with excellent persistence and a lingering mineral and citrus character.
Pazo Cilleiro is the Albariño white wine from Rías Baixas crafted by Muriel Wines, a renowned Spanish winemaking group that brings decades of expertise to this iconic Atlantic denomination. Sourced from Albariño grapes grown on granite soils under the influence of the oceanic climate of Galicia, this is a terroir-driven white that speaks with a clear, honest voice — and one of the most food-friendly expressions of the variety you can buy online.
Vinified entirely in stainless steel at controlled temperatures, Pazo Cilleiro is designed to preserve the full aromatic intensity and crisp acidity that make Albariño one of Spain's most internationally celebrated white grapes. No oak ageing means nothing stands between the wine and its vibrant Atlantic character.
The nose is immediately inviting: bright citrus notes of lime zest and white grapefruit lead the way, followed by ripe white fruits — pear, green apple and white peach — with a delicate floral lift of white blossom and orange flower. On the palate, the wine is fresh and lively, with a mouthfeel that is round yet structured, underpinned by the variety's signature bracing acidity. The mid-palate offers generous fruit weight balanced by mineral tension, and the finish is long, savoury and refreshingly clean.
Pazo Cilleiro is a supremely food-friendly wine. It shines alongside fresh shellfish — clams, razor clams, prawns — and grilled white fish, but is equally at home with light seafood pasta, sushi, ceviche or simply as an aperitif. If you're looking to buy a premium Albariño white wine from Rías Baixas with European delivery, this is an excellent and reliable choice that consistently over-delivers for its price point.
From Muriel Wines' Atlantic estate, Pazo Cilleiro distils everything that makes Rías Baixas white wine so compelling: freshness, aromatics, and a sense of place that is unmistakably Galician.

The Winery
Founded in 1926
Muriel Wines is a distinguished Spanish wine group with deep roots in the country's winemaking heritage, tracing its origins back to 1926, when José Murúa founded the first winery in Elciego, in the heart of La Rioja. Decades later, in 1986, his son Julián expanded the legacy by establishing Bodegas Muriel, laying the foundation for what has grown into one of Spain's most significant wine groups. Today, Muriel Wines stands at the centre of an ambitious portfolio encompassing multiple brands and wineries across some of Spain's most prestigious denominations of origin. In Rioja DOCa, the group includes Bodegas Muriel, Bodegas Eguía and Marqués de Elciego, among others. Beyond Rioja, the group also operates a winery in Ribera del Duero DO and, for lovers of Atlantic whites, Pazo Cilleiro in the DO Rías Baixas — its showcase for high-quality Albariño wines. In total, the group manages 11 brands and maintains an active presence in over 50 countries, with exports accounting for 80% of total production, reflecting an extraordinary commitment to international markets. The group's philosophy is rooted in the balance between winemaking tradition and an innovative spirit. As Muriel Wines itself expresses, the secret lies in adapting to the ever-changing world of wine without losing the essential character that defines each terroir. In Rioja, Bodegas Muriel is particularly celebrated for its elegant, complex Reserva wines with excellent ageing potential. In Rías Baixas, Pazo Cilleiro reveals a very different side of Spain through Albariños with a distinct Atlantic influence — fresh, vibrant and expressive. Muriel Wines ultimately embodies Spain's remarkable ability to speak to the world through multiple territories and wine styles, consistently delivering quality recognised at the most discerning tables.
