The Pazo de Barrantes La Comtesse is a good example of the potential of the Albariño grape and is a good example of how beautifully an Albariño can age. De La Comtesse is the big brother of the very nice Pazo de Barrantes Albariño and is without doubt one of the very best Albariños. The La Comtesse has concentration and elegance and balance and the cool year 2017 gives the wine a nice acidity that provides freshness and length. Supply is very limited from the grapes come from a small plot, the 1.4 hectare Pago Cacheiro, from the oldest (50 years) and lowest yielding vines on the Pazo de Barrantes estate
