2017 | Mar de Frades | Frades Godello

Its Atlantic character combines elegant structure with delicate expression, making it a unique wine of enormous complexity.It is a wine with a very evocative personality, with a straw yellow color and hints of steely lemon. The elegance that exudes begins in the nose, where notes of lychee and passion fruit are interspersed with scents of tuberose and gardenia.

Producer Information

Mar de Frades, a Galician word meaning “Sea of Friars”, is the name given to the location opposite the ría Arousa, at the mouth of the river Umia, where the old pilgrims disembarked to continue their journey towards Santiago de Compostela. That little spot in the ocean facing our vineyards was the space we chose in 1987 to create a bodega inspired by the style of the Atlantic, and born with the goal of creating wines that would reflect its personality and character.The Val do Salnés is located in Galicia, in the northwest of Spain. There, at the foot of the Valiñas Estate, on the side of a mountain facing the ría Arousa that cools the Atlantic breeze that caresses our vineyards, is where Mar de Frades wines are born.he Mar de Frades bodega stands in the middle of this spot, with its slender grey figure of granite and copper, polished by the harsh Galician climate.The vineyards in Rías Baixas are fragmented into thousands of small, disperse plots across the entire region. At Mar de Frades, we work and have a close relationship with over 150 winegrowers in the area.Moreover, we have almost 60 hectares of vineyard on some of the best plots, making us one of the biggest vineyard owners in the region.
