Finca Valiñas
The Albariño that expresses the passage of time.
BuyIn the form of an amphitheatre facing the estuary, our most emblematic vineyard produces an outstanding wine, a great world class wine. Of limited production, it is one of the greatest white wines in Rías Baixas and in all of Spain. Made with selected grapes from the Valiñas estate vineyard, next to the Mar de Frades winery, facing the Ría de Arousa.
Vineyard
The Valiñas estate hillside is one of the locations with greatest winegrowing potential and most scenic significance in Rías Baixas. It is a vineyard of outstanding value. The Valiñas estate belongs to Mar de Frades and spans 2.2 hectares, where we carry out meticulous winegrowing, paying special attention to the health of its well-drained sandstone and granite soils.
Production
The process begins with an extremely selective harvest, designed to preserve as far as possible the qualities of each cluster we pick on this unique estate. The grapes are macerated for 65 hours at 12ºC, without the addition of sulphites, in Ganimede tanks protected by CO2. This method extracts the freshest, most elegant and intense aromas. After fermentation with indigenous yeasts, gentle work with the lees takes place for two years in stainless steel tanks. The wine rests in bottle for another year before being launched onto the market.
Tasting
APPEARANCE: Intense yellow in colour, with glints of gold.
NOSE: Intense and very lively, with thiolic and toasted notes to accompany the saline and balsamic aromas.
MOUTH: Intense, complex and bold, with a juicy and profound finish, with hints of citrus and salt.
