"91/100 Josh Raynolds, Vinous
Limpid straw-yellow. Mineral-tinged citrus and orchard fruit scents are complemented by suggestions of jasmine and anise. Offers palate-staining Meyer lemon, pear and honeysuckle flavors that are underscored by a chalky mineral quality that builds steadily with air. Shows very good depth of flavor as well as finesse and finishes with excellent clarity and floral-accented persistence."
Pazo Barrantes comes from the family estate of the Count of Creixell, who also owns Marques de Miurrieta, the leading estate in Rioja. It captures the subtle flavor and freshness of albariño from 30 acres of premium vineyards, the largest single estate in Salnés Valley, Rías Baixas D.O. of Galicia,
The wine's true albariño character is a direct reflection of the Creixell family's core values of quality and estate-owned vineyards, paired with a modern winemaking approach and the latest technology.
