2021 Pazo Barrantes Gran Vino Albarino

The origins of Pazo de Barrantes date back to the early 16th century and since then it has been linked to the Cebrián-Sagarriga family - yes, the same family as the Marques de Murrieta. At Pazo de Barrantes they have embraced a new challenge as a tribute to one of the world's most extraordinary grape varieties, the Albariño.

It all starts with the unique terroir with its own 12 hectare vineyard in the heart of the Salnes Valley. Blessed with a unique microclimate, it benefits daily from the hard work and care, expertise, passion and skill of the family. More than 10 years have gone into this new project, starting with the careful care of the vineyards to achieve optimum health and quality of the grapes. Yields have been seriously reduced and an extensive selection of grapes has been made, both in the vineyards and when they reach the winery. Using a slow, gradual maturation process with very strict quality parameters, the best juice is selected that is suitable for ageing. In fact, in the winery, only the high-quality raw material (the grapes) is handled with the utmost care and minimal intervention takes place. Above all, it is given all the time.

By controlling the fermentation temperature in stainless steel tanks, they can slow down the fermentation and obtain more purity and aromatic intensity. After two months of contact with the lees, the wine acquires texture, while seven months of rest in the tank improves the balance and harmony. A new ingredient has also been added: wood for a small part of the wine. Approximately 15%, is aged in acacia barrels, which adds volume, complexity and depth. Finally, the bottle aging process has been extended to more than a year and a half, allowing the wine to become fully defined and balanced and to express its incredible potential. The finishing touch to the project is the packaging that best expresses the personality of the new Pazo Barrantes and has chosen a traditional Burgundian bottle with a new label printed on heavy, waterproof cotton paper imitating artisanal printing techniques. The label shows the winery seen from the vineyard. After 30 years, the new Barrantes is baptized Gran Vino Pazo de Barrantes
