Alvarinho-vinstokkene vokser på ren granit og granitsand. En lille enkelt vinmark på kun 1,4 hektar udgør hjertet af ejendommen. Vinstokkene blev plantet i midten af 1960'erne. Efter omhyggelig håndplukning blev druerne gæret og modnet i hele 3 måneder på store franske egetræsfade. Appelsinskal, kvædegelé og lidt hvid fersken i næsen. Der opstår en enormt gribende smag, akacie, fennikelblomst og en hel masse hyldeblomst. Derudover kridtagtige greb, der straks leder tankerne hen på Rodrigo Mendez (Forjas del Salnes) og Jean Marc Roulot i Bourgogne. Wow, strukturen vil ikke slippe dig. På trods af dette utrolige greb forbliver alt elegant og harmonisk. Frugten er cremet og rund og meget intens. Dette er virkelig Albarino i sin mest charmerende form! Helt sikkert en af de bedste repræsentanter for denne spændende druesort i verden.

Tim Atkin om: Pazo de Barrantes La Comtesse Albarino

The best release yet of La Comtesse, a wine from a single 1.4-hectare parcel, this is a ground- breaking Albariño that looks towards Burgundy in a sense. Fermented in 3,000-litre foudres for 85 days, it’s a late-release white of great poise and complexity. Savoury, deep, waxy and layered, it has wonderful texture, subtle wood spices and layers of pear, citrus and peach skin supported by acidity.

Parker om: Pazo de Barrantes La Comtesse Albarino

The top-of-the-range 2019 La Comtesse comes from a vineyard called Cacheiro, 1.4 hectares of their oldest vines (planted in 1965) that deliver lower yields and aim to showcase the aging potential of Albariño. The must fermented in 3,000-liter oak vats where the wine was kept for 12 months, the first three with the lees, and then it was kept in concrete for a further 12 months. It has a golden color and an intense nose but with subtle aromas and almost no trace of oak. 2019 was a warmer, very complete and balanced year of powerful wines with concentration, clout and very good balance and freshness. This has 13.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.25 and 7.3 grams of acidity. It has a round and creamy texture and is velvety and tender, sleek and elegant. 9,655 bottles and 400 magnums produced. It was bottled in April 2022.

Suckling om: Pazo de Barrantes La Comtesse Albarino

It’s a joy to taste and drink this Rias Baixas, which shows ripe pineapple, quince, cream, meringue, apricots, seashells and minerals. Substantially full but paradoxically light as well, thanks to its bright acidity. Long, creamy and taut, with a lightly saline ending. A vinous albarino to drink or hold.
