A family writing its history since 1511 -The origin of Pazo de Barrantes goes back to the beginning of the 16th century and since then, it has been connected with the Cebrián- Sagarriga family. Pazo Barrantes is located in the Galician Salnes valley, in the heart of the D.O. Rias Baixas, and it is surrounded by twelve hectares of own vineyards planted with the Albariño variety. Its unique terroir and microclimate combined with the daily effort, the care and the expert knowledge permit us to obtain year by year the highest quality grapes. A careful and slow winemaking process allows us to get the highest expression of this grape to produce wines with a great potential for ageing and unique personality. A fruity nose of apple blossom, nectarine, candied pear, guava, lime cordial and some fresh cider. It’s medium-bodied with bright acidity and a juicy, ripe palate. Subtle saline notes. Round, delicious finish. Producer Information Pazo de Barrantes is part of the Marqués de Murrieta family, one of the founding fathers of modern Spanish winemaking. The winery has been associated to the Counts of Creixell since the beginning of the 20th century, and the property in the hands of the family since 1511. Over the years, the Count of Creixell´s family has given its own personality to every wine produced at the winery. In the 1990s, the Galician property turned into an estate designed specifically for the albariño growing, the great and noble local grape variety. This enabled the family to join all the efforts to offer careful and precise winemaking in the heart of the Salnés Valley. The Pazo de Barrantes estate is located in the Salnés Valley of Rías Baixas and is the largest single estate in the valley. The property is close to the Galician coast in the western part of Spain, just north of Portugal. The winery is settled near the southern tip of the Rioja Alta in the middle of the beautiful Ygay Estate, a unique 300 hectare vineyard that guarantees complete control over the grape source of the wines and is the key to the quality and style of Marqués de Murrieta wines.
