(2018 notes) The process begins with a light destemming and crushing followed by a brief cold maceration. Alcoholic fermentation is carried out controlling the temperature in a stainless steel tank. Once this process is finished, a slight settling process continues to introduce the wine into two 300 liter barrels where the malolactic fermentation will take place. Here it will remain until our winemaker decides the optimal bottling moment. It ends with a maturation in the bottle for a minimum of 6 months.
Ageing: 6 months in 300 liter French oak barrels and a minimum of 6 months in bottle.
Bright, straw yellow with pale gold sparkles. Vigorous tear. Nice aromatic intensity in which the variety expresses its potential. Citrus impression (grapefruit), notes of seed fruits (apple and pear). Aromatic herbs, blue cheese, and aniseed. Fresh mouthfeel, fleshy and spicy with an elegant creaminess on the lees, balanced and persistent. Saline finish.
Mar de Envero is was founded in 2007. We produce unique Galician wines of typicity and personality. The winemaker, Manyo Moreira, has worked on various projects in different appellations of origin, but has returned to Galicia, where he finds the character and elegance he wants in his wines due to the soil, climate, and grape varieties.
Our work begins in the field, where we work to achieve excellent quality of fruit, which minimizes the production processes in the winery.
The character of the wines is marked by the influence of the Atlantic, and the particular qualities of the land. All the careful processes applied, both in the vineyard and in the winery, contribute to turning the wines into true reflections of the potential offered by the indigenous grape varieties.
Mar de Envero winery has been committed to winemaking with these varieties since its inception. These vines have adapted to the unique climate and soil conditions of the Galician land over centuries.
In 2008, Mar de Envero launched its first wine, the Mar de Envero Albariño on Lees. Four years later, we introduced Troupe, another single-varietal Albariño, crisp wine with a more casual and roguish character.
Since then, the family of wines has continued to grow, especially in terms of quality. The passage of time has allowed us to accumulate knowledge and experience, which are two essential allies when it comes to improving winemaking.
