Buy 2021 Pazo Barrantes Gran Vino Albariño 750ml
Available now at World of Whiskey Shop, the 2021 vintage hails from 12 hectares of estate vines planted in 1991 in the granite soils of the Salnés Valley. Harvested meticulously by hand, the wine undergoes gentle pressing and stainless steel fermentation before resting on its fine lees for 2 months. Crucially, it is aged for 7 months in acacia wood barrels—a technique pioneered by the estate—followed by an additional 16 months of bottle maturation prior to release. Bottled at 13.5% ABV, this painstaking process yields a white wine of incredible structure, texture, and aging potential.
In the glass, it displays a bright, straw-yellow color with golden highlights. The nose opens with a sophisticated, multi-layered bouquet of ripe stone fruits, white peach, conference pear, and citrus blossom, underpinned by aromatic nuances of toasted acacia wood, wet granite, and dried bay leaf. On the palate, a rich, broad, and creamy mouthfeel unleashes dense flavors of yellow plum, candied lemon peel, and baked apple, effortlessly balanced by vibrant, mouthwatering acidity and a pronounced saline minerality. The finish is remarkably long, structured, and persistent, trailing off with lingering notes of white pepper, subtle toast, and citrus oils.
A benchmark bottling for fine wine collectors, white Burgundy lovers, and gastronomy enthusiasts, Pazo Barrantes Gran Vino Albariño pairs magnificently with butter-poached lobster, grilled turbot, roasted poultry, or aged sheep’s milk cheeses. Order your bottle today from World of Whiskey Shop.
