ADDITIONAL INFO
Mar de Frades Albariño is a wine that engulfs you with its freshness and body, balancing delicate grace with attractive volume. This is the wine that invites you to experience each moment in blue, making the most of your time so you can sparkle with your own light.
The clusters of Albariño from the Val do Salnés are meticulously hand-harvested into crates, bringing them straight from the vineyard to the bodega. Once in the bodega, the clusters are classified manually on our selection tables, and the best grapes are selected for processing.
Mar de Frades, a Galician word meaning “Sea of Friars”, is the name given to the location opposite the ría Arousa, at the mouth of the river Umia, where the old pilgrims disembarked to continue their journey towards Santiago de Compostela. That little spot in the ocean facing our vineyards was the space we chose in 1987 to create a bodega inspired by the style of the Atlantic, and born with the goal of creating wines that would reflect its personality and character. Our history has always run parallel to that of the D.O. Rías Baixas, which emerged the following year. We were pioneers in the place that represents the deepest winegrowing traditions of the Val do Salnés, where the legend of Albariño begins and Spain’s most sophisticated and elegant white wines are produced.
Reviewers praise Mar de Frades as one of the most celebrated Albariño producers in Rias Baixas, with an iconic blue bottle that has become synonymous with Atlantic-influenced Galician white wine. Fans describe a fruity, elegantly fresh wine with marine reminiscences and bright acidity that makes it one of the most food-friendly whites in the world. Enthusiasts strongly recommend it with seafood, shellfish, and light dishes where its saline mineral character truly shines.
