Description
In a nutshell:
The first sparkling Albarino, by renowned producer Mar de Frades from Galicia in northwestern Spain.
The lowdown:
About 10 days before the main harvest for the still Albarino certain small plots are harvested and then the grapes hand sorted ready for the production of this, the dry, sparkling Albarino. Fully fizzy, golden yellow with green hues in the glass and expressive aromas of citrus and stone fruit with eucalyptus notes. Dry, clean and very refreshing on the palate with noticeable Albarino lemon and stone fruit flavours on the crisp finish.
The Producer:
Bodegas Mar de Frades, which means Sea of Friars in the local Galego language, is based in Galicia, northwest Spain, a few kilometres from the town of Pontevedra, in the heart of Albariño country. Established in 1987, theyve been closely bound up with the development and current popularity of Rias Baixas as a wine region and they are one of the most important players in the region. The winemaker here is native Galician Paula Fandiño, who joined the company in 2007 and, as well as producing benchmark still albariño she's responsible for the region's first sparkling version. One of the winery's trademarks is their distinctive blue bottles and temperature sensitive 'thermochromic' labels which indicate when the wine is at the correct temperature for serving. There's certainly no underestimating the quality of their wines.
When to drink:
As with many sparkling wines it makes a great aperitif and it goes brilliantly with shellfish and fish dishes.
Suitable for Vegetarians
