Gran Vino de Guarda La Comtesse 2020
Descrição
"Uma Comtesse honesta, do terroir". É assim que a Pazo de Barrantes define a colheita de 2022 do seu branco mais refinado. Fruto das vinhas mais antigas da propriedade, localizada no coração do Vale do Salnés, este vinho foi concebido em homenagem à condessa galega viúva de Creixell e, desde a sua primeira colheita, tem procurado mostrar a incrível personalidade da albariño e a autenticidade da sua terra natal. Vinho incrível para guardar, é complexo, subtil, sedoso e extremamente elegante, com o seu eterno e já clássico toque salino final.

Every bit as good as the breakthrough 2019 release of La Comtesse, this outstanding Albariño from Elena Cores and María Vargas comes from the 1.4-hectare Pago Cacheiro on the Finca Barrantes estate. Green tea and saffron aromas lead you into a dense palate with lots of dry extract, flavours of beeswax, aniseed, peach and lemon zest complemented by hints of salted almond and sourdough bread. 2027-33
The 2020 La Comtesse was produced with the Albariño grapes from a 1.4-hectare plot called Cacheiro, where they have their oldest vines (from 1965) that deliver lower yields. This has a slightly darker color, denoting its age. The juice from the pressing of the destemmed grapes fermented for 60 days in 3,000-liter oak vats, where the wine matured for 12 months, the first three with the lees, and then it was kept in concrete for a further 18 months, which is more time in concrete than in previous years. The wine is complex and subtle, very elegant, with notes of aged Albariño, mixing citrus fruit with notes of bay leaf and hay but no trace of oak. It's powerful, long and balanced, with the classical salty twist in the finish. It's silky, elegant and serious, still undeveloped but with more complexity and depth than its younger sibling from 2022 that I tasted next to it. It comes in at 13.5% alcohol, with a pH of 3.08 and 7.7 grams of acidity. 9,972 bottles and 723 magnums produced. It was bottled in June 2023. It will not be released until the end of 2025 or early 2026. (Luis Gutiérrez)
Exceptional, with one of the most distinctive aromatic profiles for an albarino. Herbal on the nose, showing green ginger, limes and passion fruit. The medium- to full-bodied palate is balanced with subtle ripeness and mind-blowing precision and harmony. From a vineyard planted in 1965 on sandy soils. Fermented and aged in 3,000-liter French oak vats, with 18 months in concrete tanks. Drink or hold. Only 9,972 bottles produced.
