The Mar De Frades Albarino Rias Baixas is an iconic expression of Spain’s Atlantic coast, celebrated for its vibrant freshness and saline character. Encased in its signature blue bottle, this wine is a benchmark for the Albariño grape, delivering a crisp and aromatic experience from the Rías Baixas DO.
Founded in 1987 in the heart of the Salnés Valley, Mar de Frades is a pioneer in producing modern, high-quality Albariño. The winery is renowned for its innovative approach, most notably its thermo-sensitive label that reveals a small ship when the wine is at the perfect serving temperature. This commitment to quality and unique branding has established them as a leading and highly recognizable producer.
In the glass, it displays a pale lemon-yellow color with brilliant greenish hues. The nose is intensely aromatic, offering notes of ripe pear, white flowers, and zesty grapefruit alongside a distinctive briny, mineral undertone. On the palate, it is crisp and vibrant with a bracing acidity, carrying flavors of green apple and stone fruit that lead to a long, saline finish.
Serve this Albariño well-chilled, between 8-10°C (46-50°F), to fully appreciate its refreshing qualities. It is the perfect companion for fresh seafood, particularly oysters, grilled fish, sushi, and light tapas.
