About this product

92 points by Falstaff for the 2020, 95 points by Falstaff for the 2016. Mar de Frades is a Galician word meaning “Sea of Friars”. Crashing waves were chosen for the Mar de Frades wine label, Albariño Atlantico. Albariño, an indigenous white grape variety that is just perfect for summer. The grape is noted for its distinctive botanical aroma with a citrous undertone. The wine produced is unusually light, and generally high in acidity with medium alcohol levels. With an iconic blue bottle to truly reflect its Atlantic inspiration. Being one of the biggest vineyard owners in the Rías Baixas region, more than 50% of the grapes that go into this wine are grown in Mar de Frades’ own vineyards. Mar de Frades is now one of Spain’s wineries of reference , and one of the most prestigious white wine brands in the whole sector, receiving multiple awards for both its wines and for the winemaker herself. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats, in contact with the lees to give the wine longevity and volume. Albarino also takes to ageing. Mar de Frades vinify the Albariño from Finca Valiñas separately and age them for five years, to intensify that feeling of the ocean even more. Serve at
