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.

It is a Galician tradicional manor house built in stone which has been witness of the most relevant episodes of Galician history. Vicente Cebrián Sagarriga, X Count of Creixell and father of the current owners, built the winery next to the manor house in 1991 and started to produce wine under the same philosophy as Marqués de Murrieta: to create estate wines that show the character and personality of the terroir from which they come.

A commitment that has been recognised by the most influential opinion leaders, such as the American magazine Wine & Spirits, which named its wine ‘Best Albariño in the world’.

Pazo Barrantes is located in the Galician Salnés 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.

The grapes used to produce the wine come from Pazo de Barrantes estate, which spans 12 hectares divided into eight different plots located around the winery in the Salnés Valley. The estate´s soils are granitic, with sand on the surface and the average age of the vineyard is 40 years.

After an exhaustive selection, the grapes are destemmed and pressed gently and slowly in a pneumatic press. The must is clarificated by flotation to ensure greater aromatic purity and then fermented at 10°C in stainless steel tanks for approximately 30 days. After fermentation, it remains 3 months with the fine lees in the stainless-steel tank.

6 months in stainless steel tanks and approximately 15% in 225 l acacia wood barrels.
