Pazo de Barrantes (hentet 17. okt. 2026): La Comtesse Albariño 2012 – teknisk ark (producentens tekst, engelsk): La Comtesse de pazo barrantes 2012 wine sheet Own Vineyard: Pago Grapes are sourced from Cacheiro single-vineyard, an old-vine plot within our 12-hectare estate called Pazo de Barrantes located in the Salnes valley (Rías Baixas D.O. Galicia). Grape variety: 100% Albariño. Manual harvest: In 18kg cases, 4th October, 2012. Winemaking: First of all the albariño bunches are de-stemmed before pressing. Afterwards the grapes are gently pressed slowly and gently to respect and boost the intense aromatic potential obtained from these old vine grapes. Juice settling. Temperature controlled alcoholic fermentation (10 ºC) takes place in a 3.000-litre French Allier oak vat for 30 days. In the pursuit of gaining more volume on the palate and a balanced mouth feel, the wine is left in contact with its fine lees for 6 months. Ageing process: La Comtesse remains in this same wooden vat for 12 months further. Afterwards the wine is aged in bottle for another 12 months before release. Bottling date: 1st August, 2014. Limited release: 4.665 (0,75 L). Pairing: La Comtesse lets us be bolder and combine it with different textures and flavors: cod baked in papillote with rosemary and honey, roasted chicken and vegetables, crab cakes with vegetable chips and bacon-wrapped scallops, pan-seared with butter. Serving suggestions: We recommend to serve the wine around 13º-14ºC so that its flavors and complexity show at their best. Scores Guía peñín (spain): 94 points. James Suckling (usa): 93 points.
