About Envidia Cochina Albariño

Envidia Cochina Albariño is a young white wine crafted by Eladio Piñeiro in the Rías Baixas (Galicia) using the albariño variety.

Founder of Bodegas Mar de Frades before the Denominación de Origen Rías Baixas was granted, Eladio Piñeiro is recognised in the industry as an entrepreneurial winemaker who innovates both in product and presentation. After leaving the winery due to his partner's illness, he embarked on this new personal project years later, focusing on very limited productions with a unique soul.

Specifically, Envidia Cochina Albariño originates from unique terroirs located in the Valle del Salnés (Pontevedra). Vines over 30 years old planted on sandy loam soils are cultivated under biodynamic principles, influenced by lunar and cosmic cycles. Once the grapes reach their optimal ripeness, they are harvested manually.

In the winery, the grapes of Envidia Cochina Albariño undergo a selective process where they macerate for eight to ten hours. This is followed by spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts at low temperature and prolonged ageing on its lees for 6 months. Finally, a blend is made with 15% of the wine from the previous vintage.

Envidia Cochina Albariño is an albariño crafted in the traditional way. An ancestral white wine that is fresh, elegant, and broad, genuine in both substance and form. The label on its bottle mimics a comic strip created with thermochromic ink, indicating by its colour whether the wine is at its optimal drinking temperature. Delightfully surprising!
