Mar de Frades Albariño Atlántico – 0.75 L

Atlantic character in a bottle

Mar de Frades Albariño Atlántico comes from the DO Rías Baixas in north-western Spain, where the cool Atlantic climate and granite soils define the Albariño grape’s signature style. With around 12.5–13% vol. alcohol, the wine balances freshness and body in a way that suits both casual weekday meals and more elaborate seafood spreads.

Taste Profile

Fresh citrus – lemon and grapefruit – opens the nose alongside ripe peach and apricot. Floral hints run through the mid-palate, and a clean mineral note and lively acidity carry through to a crisp, dry finish.

Origin & Production

Rías Baixas is Galicia’s most celebrated white-wine region, set along the Atlantic coast where the estuaries (rías) create a humid, temperate microclimate. Albariño thrives on the granitic soils here, producing wines with aromatic intensity and a naturally high acidity that preserves freshness without the need for heavy intervention in the cellar.

• Galician-style octopus (pulpo a la gallega)
• Soft goat’s cheese and light appetisers

Storage

Store the bottle upright or on its side in a cool, dark place away from vibration. Consume within 1–2 years of harvest for peak freshness.
