Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Pazo de Barrantes is a winery owned by Marqués de Murrieta in Rioja. Their 2014 Albariño is produced with the same philosophy as the mother winery and only their own grapes are used. Here the cooler 2014 is nicely balanced the riper style of the house. There are notes of freshly cut grass, white flowers and fennel with a vibrant palate and a textured mouthfeel, with great length and almost citric acidity. The fruit here is white rather than yellow, which to me is a sign of good freshness. This is very lively and balanced. The experience is that these wines age beautifully.

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
