Gran Vino Pazo Barrantes 2021
Beschrijving
Een witte wijn vol elegantie en frisheid, met een heleboel nuances. Soepel, gemaakt met veel zorg door de wijnmakerij sinds ze drie jaar geleden een nieuw tijdperk begon. Een juweeltje waarvan de exclusiviteit blijkt uit de nummering van elke fles. Perfect om nu te drinken, maar ook geweldig om te bewaren.
In de woorden van María Vargas, technisch directeur van de wijnmakerij:"De derde release van het nieuwe tijdperk van Pazo de Barrantes is een evenwichtige wijn met karakter."

Elena Cores uses grapes from eight different plots within the Finca Barrentes to make this ambitious Albariño. Aged in stainless steel and 15% acacia barrels, this has engaging aromas of aniseed and kitchen spices, a touch of flinty reduction, plenty of zip and acidity, good line and length and pear and waxed lemon flavours. 2024-30.
The 2021 Gran Vino Albariño is the third vintage of this new cuvée from their 12 hectares in eight different plots (Cacheiro, Huerta, Besada, Eira, Ferradiña, Ferradura, Tomadiña and Souto) in the Valle del Salnés plus a further hectare rented from the archbishop. The destemmed grapes were pressed and the must let to settle and then fermented in stainless steel for around 30 days. The wine was kept with the lees in stainless steel for six months and then a further six months without the lees. Fifteen percent of the volume matured in acacia wood barrels. It was kept in bottle for around 20 months before being sold. It has 13.5% alcohol with a pH of 3.25 and seven grams of acidity (tartaric). It's pale and elegant, insinuating, perfumed, floral and subtle. It's lighter but very vibrant, and it's fresh and with volume and very tasty flavors. This could be the finest vintage to date—elegant, clean, classical and Atlantic. 105,274 numbered bottles and 1,827 magnums produced. It was bottled in July 2022. The wine is released almost two years after the harvest.
Unique, expressive and pure on the nose, with acacia, minerals and iodine. Bright and taut on the palate, with a subtle twist that goes through to the finish. Such an outstanding, gastronomic albarino. 10,000 bottles made. Drink now.
