Wines from the winery Mar de Frades

Mar de Frades was born in 1987 and its path is parallel to that of the Quality Control of the Rías Baixas.
It is a pioneering bodega in the area and represents the meaning of the most deeply-rooted tradition in the Valley of Salnés, the historical capital of Albariño. It was in this place where the legend of the varieties of Albariño wine started, and where without a shadow of a doubt, the most sophisticated and suggestive white wines of Spain are produced: characterized by their freshness... and aromatic intensity.
The vineyard, called Finca Valiñas, rests on the terraced sides of the southern slope of Mount Valiñas.
With more than twenty years in age, the Albariño plant grows on an arbour forming a tapestry of grapes raised above the humidity of the soil and enabling it to receive the cool Atlantic breeze. It is an extremely poor soil and very shallow, formed from sands from granite decomposition which impress upon the wines a mineral quality. Thanks to the low yield of these vines, this allows for a more concentrated authentic essence in the Albariño grape and which is ever-present in the wines from Finca Valiñas.
