Characteristics Mar de Frades Albariño

Mar de Frades is a varietal white Albariño produced in the Rías Baixas by the winery of the same name, Mar de Frades.

The grapes used to make this Albariño come from Valiñas Finca, a plot planted on terraces and located to the south of Mount Valiñas in the Salnés Valley.

The influence of the nearby Ria de Arousa is noted, and ocean breezes give this Mar de Frades a saline character.

The vines are over 20 years of age, trellises are used to avoid soil moisture. A poor and shallow soil containing sand formed by decomposition of granite gives the wine a certain minerality. The harvest is done manually and grapes goes through a strict table selection process, where up to 20-25% of the crop is discarded.

The grapes are macerated for between 10 and 20 hours, after a light pressing a clean and very aromatic wine is obtained.

Fermentation takes place at slow controlled temperatures.

Mar de Frades Albariño is the flagship of Mar de Frades, one of the leading wineries in Spain, home of some of the most sought-after Albariño wines from the Rías Baixas (Galicia).

Mar de Frades is a unique, fresh and seductive white wine that offers the best expression of the most famous Galician grape. And the label on the iconic blue bottle changes colour with the temperature. It reveals a ship when the bottle is at the perfect serving temperature. Don’t believe us? Check it out and enjoy one of the most sophisticated, subtle and refreshing Albariños in Spain.

Very fresh and tasty wine with a good mid palate and a well-balanced acidity. It has a good but not very long or persistant finish, which leaves a good saline and herbal feeling.

Straw yellow colour with light green reflections. Clean and bright wine.

Medium intensity aromas in which the notes of white fruit and citrus are mixed with the floral and herbal aromas and good balsamic hints (eucalyptus). A saline touch is also noticed.

The fresh taste of apples and herbs are becoming more complex, deep and minerals. Fresh, elegant, with delicious acidity, sober and friendly character. Keeps in the end, a salt and eucalyptus bottom is characteristic of this wine.

Very bright pale yellow with green iridescence (lime).

On the nose, white fruit seed, flower and almond aromas of lychees in syrup replaced the typical tropical aromas.

On the palate expresses varietal tones, enhances the sensations of the nose and leaves a clean and very fresh way, where they become aromatic flowers such as lavender. Also missing this year the eucalyptus and salt, seal the house. Long aftertaste, subtle and full of records, all in the environment of citrus.

On the nose is less tropical and syrupy that of 2007 and closer to the citrus and grapefruit, marking a subtle background of apple skin and toilet soap.
