Description

The Albariño grapes come from vineyards planted approximately 25 years ago. Following a manual harvest, the grapes arrive at the winery where they are de-stemmed, and the so-called free-run juice is extracted naturally from the grapes (i.e. no mechanical pressing is involved), and left to clarify naturally for 36 hours at 10ºC. Temperature-controlled fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks at 14ºC for 21 days. Once fermented, the wine remains on its lees in the tanks until it is stabilized and bottled.

Clean, bright straw yellow in colour with greenish streaks, this wine has medium to high intensity on the nose, with aromas of herbs and resinous notes, grapefruit, lemon, and tropical fruit like pineapple and white flowers. On the palate, it is quite sweet but fresh, with a strong fruit presence, good balance and a long finish.

Like most Albariño wines, Marola & Mass is the perfect accompaniment to all kinds of fish and seafood. It also combines well with sushi, poultry and rice dishes or just enjoy it chilled on its own.
