Marqués de Murrieta’s venture in Rías Baixas was overhauled in 2019 to focus on ageworthy whites. The flagship Pazo Barrantes, which is now aged in tanks and 15% acacia barrels, spends an additional two years in bottle before release. Although prices have risen, the wine has gained depth and complexity, displaying generous white and citrus fruits, fine fennel notes, and consistent juiciness and length.

It’s not often you’ll find a Rias Baixas Albariño that tips over the £100 mark, so this is punchy but boy, is it good. Full-bodied yet vibrant with bright acidity, it's packed with notes of tangerine peel, lemon citrus and tinned peaches, balanced by a moreish, white chocolate and liquorice waxiness on palate from large barrel oak fermentation and extended lees ageing.

The 2022 Albariño Gran Vino aged for four months on lees, followed by eight months in stainless steel, with 15% aged in acacia barrels. It opens with fine notes of linden blossom and anise, alongside pear, biscuit and a balsamic hint of eucalyptus, plus a touch of apricot. This is creamy and flavorful, with a supple texture and a fresh lift. It is ready to drink now. The 2022 is an interesting style that emphasizes aging character over primary fruit.
