DO Rías Baixas

Mar de Frades Albariño

Bodegas Mar de Frades · 100 % Albariño

Why I like it: I love it: it's the Albariño I enjoy most, saline and vibrant, and the ship that appears on the label when it's chilled still has its magic.

Tasting notes

The winery's Atlantic Albariño from O Salnés: fresh and saline, with citrus and white fruit. Famous for its blue bottle. Vivino: 4.1 for the 2025 vintage.

Pairing

Shellfish, grilled fish, octopus and appetisers.

♪ Enjoy it with La mer: I. De l'aube à midi sur la mer · Claude Debussy · Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Bernard Haitink
