Northern Spain, Spain

ZAMMDFALBA23

Tasting Notes

Mar de Frades 100% Albariño 2023. Grapes for this wine come from selected vineyards in the Val do Salnes, chosen for their great aromatics and freshness. Once harvested the wine undergoes delicate extraction through a gentle pressing and alcoholic fermentation using indigenous yeasts. Then Paula Fandino, Head Winemaker, chooses to batonnage the wine on its fine lees for 5 months to improve texture whilst it remains in a stainless steel tank on the lees to preserve varietal aromatics. The wine is bursting with tropical fruit flavour, fresh and intense, with notes of wild flowers and herbaceous eucalyptus and mint. The palate is smooth with electric acidity and a typical Atlantic saline note.
