The flagship wine of Mar de Frades is a single varietal Albariño, typical grape of Rías Baixas (Galicia), macerated and fermented cold to avoid losing aromas and preserve the varietal character, aged on lees with "bâtonage" work for a few months.
WINEMAKING:
This Albariño comes from selected vineyards in the Val do Salnés, both our own and from independent winegrowers, where a viticulture respectful of the conditions of the environment and the Rías Baixas D.O. is practiced.
In the winery, the must is made from the Albariño grapes received in crates. The first step is a process of selection of clusters, which are divided and then crushed or gently pressed to finish in the container where the alcoholic fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts. The slow and constant fermentations were completed in time and form, resulting in more Atlantic wines, with saline notes, fruit (lime, pear conference) and floral nuances (gardenia, orange blossom). The wine undergoes a bâtonage with its fine lees for 5 months and remain in stainless steel tank on its lees until bottling.
TASTING NOTES:
Mar de Frades Albariño is a wine that envelops with its freshness and body, creating a balance between delicate elegance and attractive volume. Notes of green apple combined with citrus aromas, reminiscent of lemon zest and grapefruit, then appear stone fruit and tropical mango with a complex finish marked by minerality. On the palate, the acidity is present from a frank attack to a persistent finish. The wine manages to envelop you with its freshness and body creating a balance between delicate elegance and attractive volume.
FOOD PAIRING AND SERVICE:
Thanks to its acidity, its perfect pairing is with raw fish and seafood. We could also savor it with rice dishes, octopus and even Japanese food. Mar de Frades' heat-sensitive label will help you enjoy the wine at the right temperature: a small blue boat emerges above the waves of the logo when the temperature of the bottle is below 11ºC, the ideal temperature for consumption.
