Pazo Barrantes

The imposing Pazo Barrantes is located in the heart of the Salnés Valley, the actual birth place of the Albariño grape, situated in the centre of the Rías Baixas D.O. Twelve hectares of vines surround the property, which is owned by the charismatic Vicente Cebrián, Count of Creixell (to abbreviate his somewhat lengthy name), who also owns the Rioja bodega Marquis de Murrieta, which also graces this offer. Those of you who may have attended the fantastic dinner which he hosted at Berry Bros. & Rudd earlier in the summer will recall his passion for these white wines, reflecting perhaps the fact that they have been in his family even longer than Murrieta.
