Albariño
Albariño appears in 12 articles of hers, from 2023 to 2026.
In her words
Grown close to the Atlantic Ocean, Albariño combines citrus and stone fruit with a delicious saline freshness that pairs beautifully with seafood.
Albariño is one of Spain’s most loved white grape varieties, grown mainly in the Rías Baixas region in Galicia, north-west Spain.
Like Pinot Grigio, Albariño is crisp and refreshing, but often brings a little more intensity, aromatic lift and texture.
Today, Mar de Frades Sparkling Albariño is stunning and is made entirely by hand, with fine bubbles, notes of green apple, citrus, dried fruit and toasted brioche, all carried by that Atlantic freshness that makes Albariño so captivating.
An exceptional example of Albariño with notes of lemon peel, white peach and honeysuckle, offering a silky mouthfeel with lively acidity.
