Tasting note

Complex, expressive Albariño, the seafood-loving white grape of Galicia in northern Spain; this is full of white fruit, with a faint aroma of toast and beautiful eucalyptus notes. The time on lees lends an elegant and fine mousse with soem autolytic character on the finish

Viticulture

Mar de Frades in Rias Baixas, Salnes, embodies the coastal terroir, with Albarino grapes kissed by seawater. Paula Fandino crafts sulfite-minimal wines amid a challenging climate. Unique 'Parra' trellising maximizes sun, minimizes pests in this iconic region.

Vinification

Unique sparkling wine inspired by Mar de Frades Godello. Hand-harvested grapes, spontaneous fermentation, lees ageing for added depth & creaminess, while preserving fruit & signature salinity. A distinctive choice.

Food Match

Perfect aperitif or with smoked salmon, scallops, oysters. Label features a temperature-sensitive logo—boat appears when chilled right, vanishes if too warm.
