About Mar de Frades Albariño
If there is anything that defines Galicia, it is its wealth of history, culture, and traditions. A region that, with its Camino de Santiago, the bagpipes echoing at celebrations, the muiñeiras inviting us to dance, and its beautiful Galician language, always has something special to offer. And, of course, its white wines, fresh and vibrant, captivating us with every sip.
In this landscape of vinicultural tradition, Mar de Frades stands as one of the most representative wines of Galicia. A unique, fresh, and alluring white wine that offers us the finest expression of the most famous Galician grape: the albariño. But Mar de Frades doesn't only win over with its flavour. Its iconic blue bottle has a very special feature: its thermochromic label. Yes, you read that correctly! When the bottle reaches the ideal serving temperature, a ship appears on the label, a subtle signal indicating the perfect moment to enjoy it.
The magic of Mar de Frades begins at Finca Valiñas, a vineyard over 20 years old, planted on terraces on the southern slopes of Monte Valiñas, in the heart of the Valle del Salnés (DO Rías Baixas). The Ría de Arousa, close to the vineyard, provides a sea breeze that imparts the wine with a unique saline character, typical of the area. The vines are trellised to protect the grapes from the soil's moisture, which, composed of decomposed granite sands, offers the wine a distinctive minerality. Throughout the process, careful attention is given: the harvest is done by hand, and a rigorous selection of the grapes is carried out, discarding up to 20-25% of the crop. The maceration lasts between 10 and 20 hours, and after a gentle pressing, the must is obtained clear, aromatic, and ready for a slow fermentation at controlled temperature.
In Mar de Frades, one finds not only flavour but also the essence of Galicia: its sea, its land, and its vinicultural soul. A wine that is not only enjoyed but lived. And if you ever wonder whether it is the perfect time to savour it, don't worry... the bottle will tell you!
