Pazo Barrantes 2019

After an exhaustive selection, the grapes are destemmed and pressed gently and slowly in a pneumatic press. The must is decanted by flotation to ensure greater aromatic purity and then fermented at 10ºC in stainless steel tanks for approximately 60 days. After fermentation, it remains 2 months with the fine lees in the stainless-steel tank. Aged 7 months in stainless steel tanks and 15% in acacia wood barrels.

The grapes used to elaborate the wine come from Pazo de Barrantes estate, with 12 hectares divided into 8 different plots and located around the winery. The soils of the estate are granitic, with sand on the surface and the average age of the vineyard is 35 years.

This new Pazo Barrantes will surprise with an extremely elegant and expressive nose; fine aromas of white stone fruits, hints of citric fruits, balsamic nuances, acacia blossoms and bay. Liveliness and freshness in the palate, with a fluid texture and a balanced, long finish. “This new Pazo Barrantes 2019 is the clear evidence that the Albariño grape is one of the best white varieties in the world, with the ability to show its incredible character and aging potential over time.” María Vargas - Technical Director 94 points Robert Paker 91 points Wine Spectator (Top 100 wines)
