Description: 

Mar de Frades is a single-varietal Albariño white wine made in the Rías Baixas DO by the winery of the same name, Mar de Frades. 

The grapes used to make this Albariño come from Finca Valiñas, a vineyard planted on terraces and located south of Mount Valiñas, in the Salnés Valley. You can notice the influence of the nearby Ría de Arousa, and its sea breezes that give this Mar de Frades a saline character. 

They are vines that are more than 20 years old, trellised to avoid soil humidity. A poor and shallow soil, formed by granite decomposition sands that transmit a certain minerality to the wine. 

The harvest is carried out manually and the grapes go through a strict table selection process, where up to 20-25% of the harvest can be discarded. The grapes macerate between 10 and 20 hours and after light pressing, a clean and very aromatic must is obtained. Fermentation is carried out slowly at a controlled temperature. 

Mar de Frades Albariño is the flagship of Mar de Frades, one of the leading wineries in Spain, the birthplace 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, which offers us the best expression of the most famous Galician grape. In addition, the label of its iconic blue bottle has thermochromic characteristics. A ship appears in it when the bottle is at the ideal temperature for service. You do not believe it? Check it out and enjoy one of the most sophisticated, subtle and refreshing albariños in Spain.
